Hello,

While chatting on Facebook, I found out that you can create symbols by combining ALT + numbers.

The problem is that these combinations don't work for me. For example, when I press alt+1 I get: ? The same goes for all number combinations except alt+7: *

Thank you for your responses.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0

    Examples: to make a heart: ? (I held down "Fn" "Num Lock", then "Alt" "3" (which is above the L) ????????????!??,7??

      I have a desktop PC and a standard keyboard, so there is no Fn key with the numeric keypad on the right.
