After adopting Windows to Unicode, the entry of all Unicode characters by the same method was desired, and achieved by some applications, but couldn't be spread to all system. Codes with a preceding 0 represent the new ANSI codes.įor the last two decades, Unicode is being adopted by many systems. Three-digit codes represent the OEM codes. The new set was named ANSI(later changed to Windows codes), and the old ones called as OEM(original equipment manufacturer) code pages. These codes became so popular so that Microsoft, even though developed a new set of codes, decided to keep them.
The system which interprets this action and places the corresponding character at the cursor's location is BIOS.
means no HTML entity code exists and that a numeric code must be used.IBM developed a method to place the characters that can not be typed by a keyboard on the screen: while keeping the Alt key down, typing the code defined for the character via the numeric keypad.

CSS Styling can also be used to achieve the same effect as described on Got Unicode and Lars Bruzelius. These codes allow fractions to be represented with typographically smaller numerators and denominators, but they can be replaced by other ways of typing a fraction (e.g. NEGATED DOUBLE VERTICAL BAR DOUBLE RIGHT TURNSTILEĭOES NOT CONTAIN AS NORMAL SUBGROUP OR EQUAL Math Symbol Codes Character NameĭOUBLE VERTICAL BAR DOUBLE RIGHT TURNSTILE For example to insert á (0225) you must type ALT+0225, NOT ALT+225. NOTE: You must include the initial zero in the code. The character will appear when the ALT key is released. NOTE: If you have the International keyboard activated, you will only be able to input codes with the ALT key on the left side of the keyboard. The codes are "case sensitive." For instance, the code for lower-case á is ALT+0225, but capital Á is ALT+0193. While pressing down the ALT key, type the four-digit code on the numeric key pad at the right edge of the keyboard.If you are on a laptop or computer without a separate numeric keypad one of the other methods is recommended. NOTE: You must use the numeric key pad if you use the number keys on the top of the keyboard, the characters will not appear. The following animation shows the result. The text code will be converted into the symbol. Simply type the UNICODE for e with tilde. Follow the steps to insert e with tilde using ALT+X method. You can use this method to type E with tilde in MS Word. The Num Lock light on the keyboard will indicate that the numeric key pad is on. WAY 4: USING KEYBOARD SHORTCUT TO INSERT E WITH TILDE IN MS WORD. Activate the numeric key pad on the right of the keyboard by pressing Num Lock (upper right of keyboard).Place your cursor in the location where you wish to insert a special character.
