Is a certain character you would like to use not on the keyboard?

This is the post for you...

To save you from having 5 million keys on your keyboard, someone, somewhere along the way decided to put alt keycodes into the windows system.  I'm pretty sure they also work in dos but I'm not so sure about mac.

Anyways, here they are!  I have also attached the .txt file I keep for reference.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Actually the codes for DOS are different. I've always used Character Map in Windows to find the code for a preticular character. ;)

Crashwg,
Printed and posted the list at work.  I used it a bunch of times already.  I like the character map, but I don't like having to open and scroll.  Thanks.

(Homer Simpson reading the computer screen) "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key? I see Esk ["ESC"], Catarl ["CTRL"], and Pig-Up ["PGUP"]. There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB. [presses TAB key].
