Hello
Nothing is simple.
Everything depends on the font and the word processor (or software) being used.
Thus, the first two codes given to you work very well with Word and Notepad. They correspond to characters that are present in the Cambria Math font. (You must type the code using the numeric keypad)
But I can't use them in LibreOffice Writer.
The best option is to fall back on the unicode numbers.
2245 or 2243 or 2248.
In Word, you type the code followed by Alt C.
In Writer, the code must be followed by Alt X.
Otherwise, use the Character Map. Look in the Cambria Math font.
To access the character map, you type Win + R, then in the window that opens, you type charmap and you confirm. (Win is the key with the Windows logo)
What we understand well is clearly expressed,
And the words to say it come easily.

Hello,
We cannot directly answer the question because it depends on where we want to insert it.
The dogma is as follows:
https://seniors-only.fr/faire-le-symbole-a-peu-pres-egal-avec-clavier/
but it is inaccurate; in Word, I have to enter 2248ALTC, but it does not work in Notepad.
If such a recipe does not work in the destination software, I have to look it up in the character map and copy-paste it, even if that means saving it in a text file on the desktop for easy access if I use it often.
Hello everyone,
I thought I was smarter than the others but no! (I must say I'm Basque after all!....)
I pressed ~ (tilde) thinking I would type a character below it like ¨ (diaeresis) ^ (circumflex accent).
Below it works for the n but not for - (hyphen) and _ (underscore).
Yet I have written a bunch of Wikipedia articles in Hispanic terms, a lot of ñ (Pyrénées project).
~ ñ ~- ~_
Well, I didn't know it was so complicated, here or elsewhere.
Good luck to you all!
Hello
One day I was looking for this sign ≈ and someone on this excellent forum told me "type the number 2248 then press Alt+c if that doesn't work press Alt+x" and it worked.
So I made a little table of the signs that I need the most.
I submit it to you (it's up to you to complete it).
.
With a number followed by ALT (x or c depending on the software you are using)
Sign Number + (I only know 2)
≈ 2248 Altx
≃ 2243 Altx
With: Alt (hold down the Alt key and type the number)
# 035
± 0177
~ 0126
÷ 0247
* 042
® 0174
¼ ½ ¾ 0188 0189 0190
There you go, I don't have the explanation for the c or x after the Alt key but it depends on the software being used, for example in Word Excel Write = Alt+c works well
In LibreOffice, Alt+x works well but LibreOffice Calc doesn't accept the AltGr key, it just doesn't do anything.
Sorry I haven't tried in all software.
There you go, good luck
[Edit :] Oops, the explanation for x or c is given above by our excellent Brucine.
I envision a forum where all users are free to ask their questions without having to justify their actions.

Hello,
Fractions and special characters (commercial symbols or others) are relatively trivial.
As for the rest, you're stressing over nothing, it's readily available on the Internet (with the caveat I mentioned, when it's "greater" than 255 and from Unicode), for example here for the French ASCII only:
https://sebastienguillon.com/test/jeux-de-caracteres/windows-ascii-fr.html
and here for the entirety of the Unicode tables (and you then need to use a font that incorporates the specific table in question):
https://www.unicode.org/Public/13.0.0/charts/fr/
Hi Chouchou
#
" AltGr + 3 " ==>> the 3 is the key at the top left (under the F1 F2 keys)
the AltGr key held down plus the 3 key
by > ASCII combinations < also => Alt + 035 => #
@+
OK
"Alt + 08776" does not work for ≈ on my PC ( nor does "Alt + 08730" )
otherwise we use "Alt + 0177" for the other sign ± ( plus or minus )
Hello,
Formally, ALT+yxxx is extended ASCII from a specific code page.
Without the leading 0, in Europe, code page 850 is used or that defined in the regional settings of the PC, with page 1252, which explains why at equal xxx, 0xxx and xxx do not yield the same result.
The first consequence is that xxx cannot exceed 255, unless what I do not know can take a value other than 0 outside of nothing, and thus any ALT+yxxx combination where y is greater than 1 is normally inoperative.
The second is that, regardless of the character table, entries from 0 to 128 are normally common while those up to 255 depend on the additional tables incorporated or not into the considered font.
One often confuses this with Unicode, which is not referred to by ALT but with a hexadecimal combination whose value can exceed 255 and which is obtained depending on the software used by xxxx + ALT + C or + ALT + X, as in the first case for Microsoft Office software, resulting in the conversion of hexadecimal xxxx.
This syntax is different if I want to enter a Unicode in html, Java, ....
Such software-dependent combinations have been reported here to not work under Libre Office, duly noted, I haven't used it in years.
As long as an application, like Notepad, cannot read extended ASCII characters, it is impossible to enter an ALT combination greater than 255 and even less any Unicode.
Therefore, as some of us have mentioned, aside from the character table that copies what we want wherever we want, including Unicode in Notepad, there is no universal solution of a character's key combination according to the software used.
Hello
The Notepad cannot read extended ASCII characters, it is impossible to enter an ALT combination greater than 255 and even less any Unicode.
It's over with the new version 11.2309.28.0 that came with the 23H2 update; we can now enter extended ASCII characters.
Probably available for download in the Microsoft Store.
Good evening
hold the Alt key plus the S key after 0 after 1 after 7 after 7 after E then release Alt and press ENTER at the end
for 0177
please use the numbers on the special and accented characters, but not on the numeric keypad

You have to try
Good luck
