Frequently asked questions
How do I type an Alt code?
Hold down Alt, type the number on the numeric keypad (the number pad on the right of the keyboard, with Num Lock on), then let go of Alt. The number keys above the letters don't work for Alt codes.
The leading zero changes the table Windows uses. Without it, Alt 1 to 255 come from the old DOS character set (code page 437); with it, Alt 0128 to 0255 come from Windows-1252. The tool shows both where a symbol has both.
My laptop has no number pad. How can I type symbols?
Press the Windows logo key and the full stop (period) to open the emoji panel, then choose Symbols for punctuation, currency, maths and accented letters. Some laptops have a number pad on the letter keys, switched on with Fn or Num Lock. Or click a symbol here to copy it and paste it where you need it.
How do I type a symbol that has no Alt code?
Copy it from this page, or in Microsoft Word type its code and press Alt+X: the rupee sign ₹ is 20B9, so type 20B9 then Alt+X. Each symbol's panel shows its code.
Why do I get a different symbol than the one listed?
Alt codes follow Windows' language settings. These are the codes for US and Western European Windows (code pages 437 and 1252); with other language settings the same numbers can type different characters, and a few programs handle Alt codes their own way.
