Special ALT Characters§

The chart below is a graphic image of how all the characters should look. .Note: Not all
programs, applications and browsers will recognize all of the Special ALT Characters.
To obtain an ALT Character:
1. Make certain that the Num Lock key has been pressed to
activate the numeric key section of the keyboard.
2. Depress the Alt key.
3. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of
numbers (on the numeric keypad) of the ALT code from the
table above.
4. Release the Alt key, and the character will appear.
5. On a laptop computer, there usually is no numeric
keypad. So, instead, depress the Fn (function) key, then the
Alt key, then the numerical code sequence. The numbers are
on the fronts of certain keyboard keys: M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3,
U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, and 9=9.
*There are some gaps in the numerical sequence of ALT
Character codes because either those items do not exist, or else
they are duplicates of characters listed elsewhere. Many Special
ALT Characters, Special HTML Characters, and Special <Font
Face="Symbol"> Characters are the same.
Some word processing programs and browsers will not recognize
all Alt characters.
