======================================================================

                            Introduction
======================================================================
On personal computers with numeric keypads that use Microsoft
operating systems, such as Windows, many characters that do not have a
dedicated key combination on the keyboard may nevertheless be entered
using the Alt code (the Alt numpad input method). This is done by
pressing and holding the  key, then typing a number on the keyboard's
numeric keypad that identifies the character and then releasing .


                               MS-DOS
======================================================================
On IBM PC compatible personal computers from the 1980s, the BIOS
allowed the user to hold down the  key and type a decimal number on
the keypad. It would place the corresponding code into the keyboard
buffer so that it would look (almost) as if the code had been entered
by a single keystroke. Applications reading keystrokes from the BIOS
would behave according to what action they associate with that code.
Some would interpret the code as a command, but often it would be
interpreted as an 8-bit character from the current code page that was
inserted into the text the user was typing. On the original IBM PC the
code page was CP437.

Some Eastern European, Arabic and Asian computers used other hardware
code pages, and MS-DOS was able to switch between them at runtime with
commands like  KEYB, CHCP or MODE. This causes the Alt combinations to
produce different characters (as well as changing the display of any
previously-entered text in the same manner). A common choice in
locales using variants of the Latin alphabet was CP850, which provided
more Latin character variants. (There were, however, many more code
pages).

PC keyboards designed for non-English use included other methods of
inserting these characters, such as national keyboard layouts, the
AltGr key or dead keys, but the Alt key was the only method of
inserting some characters, and the only method that was the same on
all machines, so it remained very popular. This input method is
emulated by many pieces of software (such as later versions of MS-DOS
and Windows) that do not use the BIOS keyboard decoding.

In the ASCII standard, the numbers 0-31 and 127 are assigned to
control characters, for instance, code point 7 is typed by . While
some (most?) applications would insert a bullet character  (code point
7 on code page 437), some would treat this identical to  which often
was a command for the program.


                              Windows
======================================================================
The Alt codes had become so well known and memorized by users that
Microsoft decided to preserve them in Microsoft Windows, even though
the OS features a newer and different set of code pages, such as
CP1252. Windows includes the following processing algorithm for Alt
code, which supports both methods:

* The familiar Alt+### combination (where ### is from 0 to 255)
retains the old MS-DOS behavior, i.e., generates characters from the
legacy code pages now called "OEM code pages." For instance, the
combination + would result in  (Latin letter u with acute accent)
which is at 163 in the OEM code page of CP437 or CP850. This did not
work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing
characters).
* The new Alt+0### combination (which prefixes a zero to each Alt
code), produces characters from the newer "Windows code pages." For
example, + yields the character  (symbol for the pound sterling) which
is at 163 in CP1252.


                              Unicode
======================================================================
Later versions of Windows and applications such as Microsoft Word
supported Unicode. As Unicode included all the characters in the MSDOS
code pages, this had the immediate benefit that all the old MSDOS Alt
combinations worked, not just the ones that existed in the Windows
Code Page.

In the IBM PC Bios typing an Alt code greater than 255 produced the
same as that number modulo 256. Some applications retained this
behavior, while others (in particular applications using the Windows
RichEdit control, such as WordPad and PSPad) made numbers from 256 to
65,535 produce the corresponding Unicode character. For instance, + in
WordPad produces the . If the Windows Code Page was set to CP1252 then
all Unicode characters except control characters could be typed this
way.


Alternatives
==============
Because most Unicode documentation and character tables show the code
points in hex, not decimal, a variation of Alt codes was developed to
allow the typing of numbers in hex (using the main keyboard for -). To
enable it, a user must set or create a string type () value called
EnableHexNumpad in the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\Input Method, assign the value data 1 to it, and then reboot or
log out/in. A leading  then indicates hex input, for example  will
produce  (e with caron).

There are many other ways of typing arbitrary Unicode characters, such
as the Character Map utility.


                      Other operating systems
======================================================================
The Alt key method does not work on ChromeOS, macOS, Linux or other
operating systems and there is no evidence of interest in replicating
it. However, numeric entry of Unicode characters is possible in most
Unix or Unix-like OSs by pressing and releasing , and typing the hex
number followed by the space bar or enter key. For example,
* For the registered trademark symbol , type , , .
* For the  no entry sign , type , , .


                            Limitations
======================================================================
If  is disabled, attempting an Alt code may cause unexpected results
in some applications, due to the controls used on the same key. For
example,  can be taken as , causing a web browser to go back one page.
