Hello All,

Most of us know about the Alt num method of entering characters not directly
accesible from the keyboard.

I now found a more general method for directly entering the unicode code point, independent of present code page or language setting.


    Press and hold down the Alt key.
    Press the + (plus) key on the numeric keypad.
    Type the hexidecimal unicode value.
    Release the Alt key.

To get the Dutch ij ligature on your screen type Alt +0133. ij

If it does not work, you need to change a setting in the registry:

Under HKEY_Current_User/Control Panel/Input Method, set EnableHexNumpad to "1". If you have to add it, set the type to be REG_SZ.
