Hello,
When I click on Alt 234, I get Û instead of the omega symbol. I don't understand why.
Best regards

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 97.0.4692.71

    Hello
    Unfortunately, Alt+234 does not produce Omega on Windows because it uses a Unicode table instead of ASCII.
    You can open Character Map in the Start Menu, Windows Accessories.
    To visually see all characters and their "unicode" codes
    The curious code for Omega is U+03A9 (4th page)


    Checking the "Advanced View" box gives you options like "Windows Greek" which limits the display; you can select and then copy, a bit cumbersome...

    Cheers

      On Windows 10, you can also access it by pressing the Windows key + . (Emoji menu).

    Hello
    To go to the very end
    There is a little software UnicodeInput created by John Cook.
    See you later

    Hello Macintoch,

    The Emoji menu is the shortcut Windows + ;
    (hold down the Windows key and press the semicolon key)

    It's in the language symbol ohmega with Windows 11




    Or with ==► LaTeX - Character table
    Source

    A+

      Hello Pistouri
      Maybe, but at my place it's .
      I'm on Qwerty, so it's a pain with Windows because the symbol of the key doesn't matter; actually, it's the lowercase key that's the 2nd to the right of Shift
      ; for you, . for me !!
      But I should have said "in Qwerty", although it's anecdotal, right? Since Crepu isn't responding and jfmimi is giving a link that doesn't match his text (no Omega in sight)...
      What do you say about that?

        Alright for the Qwerty keyboard, but we couldn't have guessed in your case and naturally without indication I corrected that.

        If Crepu doesn't respond, then he should be given time; he may have other concerns at the moment, and when he is available he will review his question with the proposed answers.

    Good evening,

    alt + 234 = Û

    for the symbol Ω, the best way is to copy/paste into a new file (right-click anywhere on the desktop) and choose Notepad, for example

    don't forget to save the Notepad file as Omega, for example or Omega letter

    after that, all you have to do is "copy/paste"

    Ω Ω

    otherwise, I looked and searched, I can't find a solution; maybe download a font that would contain the Omega symbol.

      Good evening blackmefias_3350,

      The alt + 234 = Û function does not produce the ohm symbol on CCM.
      It only gives Û but not Ω
      Nor in Word or Excel.

      Furthermore, crepu does not specify the application where he needs to type the ohm symbol on the keyboard.
      Copy/paste is an alternative, but it does not provide the keyboard solution requested in the statement.

        Hello,

        I don't know if the key combinations are different on a QWERTY keyboard.

        The entry of a specific character is possibly related to the "language" used (Dos, Javascript, HTML...), the application used (Notepad, Word...) and the selected font.

        Possible correspondences to look for, for an AZERTY keyboard

        In Notepad, Font Symbol and type W (that's where it should annoy AZERTY/QWERTY)
        In Word, default Calibri font, ALT937
