How to type an Alt code

Turn on Num Lock, hold down the left Alt key, type the code on the number pad (not the number row above the letters), then release Alt. Laptops without a number pad usually need Fn plus the keys marked with small numbers, or the on-screen keyboard.

Why there are two lists

Codes without a leading zero (Alt+1 to Alt+255) come from the original IBM PC character set, code page 437. Codes with a leading zero (Alt+0128 to Alt+0255) come from Windows-1252, the character set Windows uses for Western languages. The same number can give different symbols: Alt+169 types ⌐ but Alt+0169 types ©.

On a Mac

Macs don’t use Alt codes. Press Control+Command+Space to open the Character Viewer, or use Option shortcuts such as Option+G for © and Option+2 for ™.
