Special Characters

Post by gvblake22 »

Does anyone have a link that shows the Alt + ### codes for the special characters you can get when you hold Alt and then hit some numbers on the num pad? the ones like
Alt + 168 = ¿
Alt + 147 = ô
etc...

The characters will be different depending on which font you use.
Fortunately Windows has a built-in tool called character map
