Windows Alt codes

Alt codes are Windows keyboard combinations: hold Alt and type the numbers on the numeric keypad to insert a special character without a program-specific shortcut.

This is a fixed reference table, different from an interactive converter — to convert text to ASCII/Unicode codes live, use the WibbyTools converter.
