First: I will no longer write directly on the site, that is, online. Well, what's up, you write and write, I accidentally pressed the wrong button (I don't even know what I pressed) and the browser showed the previous page, without breathing I move forward - and nothing. The editor opens, but is already empty. And everything from the beginning. Now I'm writing in Notepad++. For anyone who doesn’t have this yet, I recommend finding and downloading it.
Second: What I wrote and what disappeared.

I'm tired of rummaging around on the internet looking for codes for different symbols. Well, for example, I want to enter French quotes in Photoshop - Christmas trees. “Well, here they are.” Maybe there is a way to find them in Photoshop, but I’m not a designer and I use Photoshop once a month. But I know that any character can be entered using ALT input. This is when you hold down the ALT button and press numbers on the numeric keypad (this is the block of numbers on the right, under NumLock). Then you throw ALT, and in place of the cursor appears desired symbol. And then I decided to post these codes here. On that website. I’ll make a link from the main page and when necessary, open the site, click on the link and here are the codes.
I'll start with these very quotes:
alt+0171 — “(quotes open)
alt+0187 — "(closed quotes)

You must enter all four digits, including zero.

Hello dear readers. Today we will look at how to quickly type different types of characters in text. This is the so-called alt code. Why it is called alt code, you will learn how to use it in this article. The bonus will be table of symbols and alt codes.

Alt code

What is alt code? Alt code are the characters that are output when you press the keyboard shortcut Alt + X, where X this is a set of numbers (a specific number) on the NumPad. NumPAd This is a block of numbers on the keyboard, usually located on the right. Alto symbols on PCs with family operating systems Windows not available when using a regular keyboard. They can only be called using additional commands. Hold down the ALT button and enter the number in the decimal number system. I hope everything is clear here. The table will help you navigate.

Alt+0769 - will help you place an accent mark above the previous letter.
That's probably all there is to it.

For systems using English language, code page 437 is used. Most other systems using the Latin alphabet use code page 850. Full list see the article "Code page"

These codes became so well known that Microsoft was forced to make a new operating system Windows 95 uses Windows-1252 and similar international sets in order to retain the ability to use Alt codes. By holding Alt and typing three digits (the first one is not zero), you can translate a character from CP437 into the corresponding character in the Windows page code. By first typing a leading 0 (zero) and then a number, you can write the character from the Windows code page.

For example, Alt + 161 produces “í” (the Latin letter i with a dot on top), which is in the 161st position in CP437 and CP850. Alt+0161 gives the symbol "¡" (inverted Exclamation point), which is at position 161 in Windows-1252.

When Windows switched to Unicode, Alt characters were preserved: leading 0 codes became even more popular. There is also another way: to enable it, the user must install or create a registry key HKCU\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad with type REG_SZ and value 1 and restart the computer. After this you can use the third method:

• Hold down the Alt key. Press the "+" key on the numeric keypad.
• While holding Alt, enter a hexadecimal number using the numeric keypad for numbers 0-9 and the regular keys for characters a-f.

For example, Alt + 11b will produce ě ("e" with a "lid").

Welcome again to our website! Did you know that with the help of the most ordinary keyboard you can enter many more characters than are drawn on it? Well, most likely you knew if you came to this article from a search. If not, today you will find out what are alt codes and how to use them, and also why they might not work.

If you only need tables of alt codes with all the symbols, then immediately scroll down the article to the pictures with tables. If you want to know something else, then read the article carefully.

What are alt codes for?

Let’s say you are writing some work, say, on physics, and you need to write “60 degrees Celsius.” If you write in MS Word, then you can always find the Celsius degree symbol in special characters. But not everyone knows how to do this. And besides, searching for some rare symbols can take quite a lot of time.

I assure you, when you learn to use alt codes, inserting degrees Celsius will take no more than a couple of seconds.

Another common situation is when a hyphen stubbornly refuses to automatically turn into a dash (lengthen). Alt codes will also help you solve the problem with dashes.

How to take advantage of these hidden symbols

Using characters that are not on the keyboard is extremely easy. You just need to hold down the left Alt on the keyboard and at the same time type the numeric code of the symbol.

For example, Alt + 1 will give you this emoji ☺. You can practice in the comments. PS: in text documents the emoticon will not be in color, but in black and white.

There is really one nuance here - numbers that are located above the letters will not work. You need to press exactly the numbers located on the right side of the keyboard. That's why the codes don't work for this alt.

Alt codes of the most popular symbols

Some symbols are used less often, some more often. Now we will give examples of the most commonly used symbols that it is advisable to learn by heart. You can always see the rest in the cheat sheet if you bookmark this article or repost it so that it remains in your sight.

Alt symbol codes that will definitely be useful to you:

Name	Symbol	Alt codes	Note
Degree Celsius	°	Alt+0176
Diameter	Ø	Alt+0216	Alto diameter code is only available on Latin keyboard layout
Dash	– -	Alt+0150 Alt+0151	There are two of them. Works on both layouts.
Christmas tree quotes	«»	Alt+0171 Alt+0187	If your default font has quotes like this “”
Plus/minus	±	Alt+0177
Check mark	√ ✓ ✔	Alt+251 Alt+10003 Alt+10004	Several options that can be called ticks.
Tick ​​in a square	☑	Alt+9745	In case of important negotiations!
Arrow right, left, up, down	←→↓	Alt + 26 Alt + 27 Alt + 24 Alt + 25	The alt right arrow code is sometimes necessary when you need to show a consequence of something.
Accent mark	emphasis	Alt+769	Place the cursor after the desired letter and type the alt accent code. Important! This word will no longer be found through a search, since the symbols “e” and “é” are completely different characters.
Copyright sign	©	Alt+0169
heart		Alt+3	There is also an alt code for a white heart, but for some reason it doesn’t work for me, so I’m not giving it to you. We only have verified information.
Infinity	∞	Alt+8734
Non-breaking space	Example: a, b, c, d, e, f	Alt+0160	We used the alt code for non-breaking space between letters. Even though "a" and "b" could have fit on the first line, they stuck to the rest of the letters.
Paragraph	§	Alt+0167

Alt codes of all main symbols in the table

These tables show all the main characters that can be entered using alt codes. However, I do not presume to say that these are absolutely all symbols. There are a lot of them, and it often happens that several codes can produce the same character. If you didn’t find something, then ask in the comments, we’ll try to figure it out together.

Only for English keyboard layout

Why use alt codes for letters

You, of course, noticed that in addition to all sorts of unusual signs and symbols in the table there are also codes for ordinary letters. These are absolutely the same letters that you enter from the keyboard, and even through a search you can find a word in which one of the letters is inserted with an Alt code.

This may perhaps be useful to you if some key on your keyboard does not work. This is inconvenient, but at first it can save you if you have urgent matters.

I have not found any other useful use for such letters. If you have interesting ideas, show them off in the comments.

If alt codes don't work, then...

This means you are doing something wrong. In principle, alt codes may not work for several reasons.

For example, you haven't read the instructions very carefully and are trying to use the numbers located above the letter keys. They won't work. You only need to use those numbers that are located on the right (numpad).

If you have a small laptop, then the keyboard on it is most likely cut down. In this case, there is a small chance that you will be able to use the upper numbers if you additionally hold down the key Fn. This method did not work for me, but it is actively recommended on the Internet.

Also, if your alt codes do not work correctly (you get the wrong character that should be), then try changing the keyboard layout (Alt+Shift).

Another very trivial reason - check if the numpad is enabled (the NUM button above it).

Instead of a total

I don’t even know how to sum it up. Just use it for your health. You can practice right here, in the comments. Let's see how much you have understood the topic. If you have any difficulties, do not hesitate to ask for advice and they will help you (either me or other users). To avoid having to remember all the codes, just bookmark this article in your browser.

What is alt code? Alt code is the characters that are displayed when you press the key combination on the keyboard Alt + X, where X is a set of numbers (a specific number) on the NumPad. NumPAd is a block of numbers on the keyboard, usually located on the right. Alto symbols on a PC with operating Windows systems are not available when using a regular keyboard. They can only be called using additional commands. Hold down the ALT button and enter a number in the decimal number system. I hope everything is clear here. The table of Alt codes will help you navigate and find the desired character.

Attention! Enter numbers on the side Num-pad keyboard.
