The Power of Alt Codes<\/h1>\n

When I first began working with technical documents and foreign languages as part of my daily life, I fell in love with Alt Codes. I quickly memorized the core group of relevant characters and punctuation to make life easier, and moved on with things.<\/p>\n

For those of you who don\u2019t know what an Alt Code is, allow me to resolve the suspense: Alt Codes are a sequence of four characters entered while simultaneously holding down the Alt key (talking about the Windows OS).<\/p>\n

Alt Codes make life much easier when you have to frequently use characters that aren’t included as part of the standard QWERTY keyboard. The Character Map in Windows is about the best you have, if it weren’t for Alt Codes, that is.<\/p>\n

I recently came across a listing of Alt Codes<\/a> at the Microsoft website, and I remembered my joy at first discovering these time savers. I decided to share their listing of Alt Codes with you here.<\/p>\n
