Turn Num Lock on. 2. Hold down the Alt key. 3. Type the digits on the numeric keypad, including any leading zero. The number row above the letters does not work. 4. Let go of Alt, and the character appears. Codes that start with 0 come from Windows-1252, the code page for Western European languages. Codes without the zero come from code page 437, the character set of the original IBM PC, which is why Alt+0233 and Alt+130 both type é. These tables are for English and Western European Windows; with another language set as the system default, the same numbers can type different characters. No numeric keypad? Some laptops hide one under the letter keys, switched on with Fn or NumLk. Otherwise, open the emoji panel with Win+. and its symbols tab, or copy from the [symbol picker](https://tinyshortcuts.click/symbol-picker/). ## Questions **Why does my Alt code type the wrong character, or nothing?** Check that Num Lock is on and that you typed on the numeric keypad, not the number row. Some programs ignore Alt codes or use Alt for their own shortcuts, and Windows set to another language may use a different code page. **What is the difference between Alt+0233 and Alt+233?** The leading zero switches the code page. Alt+0233 uses Windows-1252 and types é, while Alt+233 uses code page 437 and types Θ. When a character is in both, either code works. **Do Alt codes work on a Mac?** No. On a Mac the Option key does the same job: Option+E then E types é, and Option+G types ©. The [Mac Option key characters](https://tinyshortcuts.click/mac-option-key-characters/) page lists the whole layout.
