Alt key codes

 

Below you will find a list of alt key codes. These are great if you like to code by hand and can save a lot of time once you memorize a few.

Hold down the ALT key and use the number pad on the far right of your keyboard to type out the 4-character code.  When you release the alt key, the character will appear.

Examples: ALT 0169 = ©   /   ALT 0174 = ®  /  ALT 0153 = ™ /  ALT 0186= º (Degree)
