How to use Alt Codes on Windows
- Make sure Num Lock is on.
- Press and hold the Alt key.
- Type the numeric code on the numeric keypad (numpad).
- Release the Alt key.
Codes with a leading zero (Alt+0128) use Windows-1252 encoding. Codes without zero (Alt+128) use the DOS OEM table and may give different characters.
Does it work on Mac and Linux?
Alt codes are Windows-specific. On macOS, use the <kbd class="bg-gray-100 border border-gray-300 px-2 py-0.5 rounded text-sm font-mono">Option</kbd> key combined with other keys (e.g. Option+2 = ™). On Linux/Ubuntu, use <kbd class="bg-gray-100 border border-gray-300 px-2 py-0.5 rounded text-sm font-mono">Ctrl+Shift+U</kbd> followed by the Unicode code in hexadecimal.
On any platform, you can simply click any row in this table to copy the character and paste it wherever you want.
