What this all about is....Rare Windows Trick
posted by cimnine @ 7:02pm, Monday 9 March 2009.
Today I present a simple, yet effective, and very old Windows Trick. (It might work on Unix/Linux too, I've never tried.)The Trick's to enter Characters by their Unicode/ASCII Code.
This can be done by holding down the ALT-Key and using the Keypad (with NumLock on). Type for example ALT+174 and you will get "«". ALT+175 for "»".
There are a lot of ASCII Tables around, I often use http://www.asciitable.com.
Have fun,

This is nothing new =) It's really use full if you have a german keyboard and you would like to do a sing like "ñ" (alt +164) which is often use in spanish text :)
