Alt+ X is a special shortcut of MS Word and other similar text editors like Wordpad or Libre Office so of course you can't use it elsewhere. Microsoft Word is one of the programs that treat Alt codes specially, that's why you see the above behavior. As you already realized, the bullet appeared over and over again every 256 entries

Most will just use the default Windows behavior which is the integer value modulo 256 (i.e.
#Don alt code
Note that you can't use Alt code with decimal numbers larger than 255, except in a few applications that capture the Alt hotkeys and process the Alt codes themselves.

How to enter Unicode characters in Microsoft Windows.Similarly to type U+2705 ✅ press Alt+ ➕ 2 7 0 5 So to type ✓ which is U+2713 just press Alt+ ➕ 2 7 1 3 The first numpad + before the code point is required!!! After that you can type the character as Alt+ ➕ Unicode codepoint value. If you want to type arbitrary Unicode characters not in the above list then you must use the hex numpad by creating a registry key named EnableHexNumpad with type REG_SZ in HKCU\Control Panel\Input Method, set its value to 1 then reboot. See How do I bring up the emoji IME on Windows 10?
This works anywhere on Windows, even without a numpad (dot) or Windows+ (semicolon) then type "check" to search for "check mark". Or is this not really possible outside of Microsoft Word and I just have to accept it and keep copying it from somewhere else? However, I can't seem to find any combination which allows me to make any other more interesting symbols, and definitely no checkmark.Ĭan anyone explain why this isn't working and what I should be able to do so that I could type a checkmark using the alt code. For example, I can make a bullet by typing any of the following key combinations: The checkmark never appeared at all, though the bullet appeared over and over again every 256 entries.
Just to be sure, I made an AutoHotKey macro to run through all the possible combinations of numbers that I could create with the Alt key, and ran it overnight to build a big list. However, when I do this I get a double exclamation mark (‼) instead of a checkmark for every application except for Microsoft Word. In Notepad++, for example, it wants to close the current file, and in Google Chrome it does nothing.Īccording to ( ) I should be able to hold down alt and type 1 0 0 0 3. However, this hasn't worked in any program I've tried. These are super handy, since most of the formatted lists add extra whitespace that's nearly impossible to get rid of and adds an ugly gap before the list.Īccording to ( ) I should be able to type the text 2 7 0 5, select it, and then hit Alt+ X. When I hold down Alt and type 0 1 4 9, then I get a nice bullet ( And this is still a pain to have to change the font, and if you type something else next to the checkmark it will also be in Webdings and have to be changed, which is annoying. Lots of applications and websites won't let you specify a Webdings font.
Some fonts (like Webdings) have a special checkmark character, but this means it only works if that font is supported. (Word has an option to remove formatting, but most other programs don't.) Presently, every time I want to check something off I have to Google "checkmark", copy the symbol from a 3 rd party website, paste it into a text editor to remove formatting, and then copy and paste it into the program I'm trying to use.
