Keyboard character code table. Symbols on the keyboard using the Alt key
Greetings, dear readers! Today I will show you how to type special characters on your keyboard using the Alt key. If you didn’t quite understand from the title of the article what we’re talking about, I’ll explain in more detail.
There are symbols that are simply not on the keyboard, but they can be used quite often (paragraph icon, arrow, suit, heart). The question immediately arises of how to write this or that character that is not on the keyboard. How to do this will be discussed in this article.
Here are examples of such symbols:
☻☺ ♣♠◘○♀♪♂☼ ↕☼↓→§
Naturally, these are not all symbols, there are many more of them. You can find a complete table with these symbols just below.
And now I will tell you how to print these characters.
So, already from the name it is clear that we will use the Alt key! But we will need other keys too!
In the picture below you can see all the keys we will need and where they are:
So, to print this or that character, you need to hold down the Alt key and, using the additional panel with numbers, type the code of the character we need (character codes can be taken from the table below). Moreover, it is important to follow the sequence, that is, if you first press 1 and then 2, then a symbol with number 12 will pop up, and if you do the opposite: first 2, and then 1, then a completely different symbol with number 21 will pop up.
For example, the emoticon code (☺) is 1. This means that to print an emoticon, you need to press the Alt key and, without releasing it, click on “1” in the additional panel with numbers, then you need to release the Alt key and the symbol will be printed.
To type an arrow (→) with code 26, you need to hold down the Alt key, then alternately press first “2”, then “6”, and then release the Alt key. The symbol will be printed immediately.
Here is a table of the most common characters with their numbers:
This was the easiest way to print these characters, but not the only one.
There is also such a thing as a symbol table. No, we are not talking about the yellow table above. Every Windows computer has this Symbol Table application.
This application is located in this location:
This folder contains a bunch of all sorts of system files, including “charmap”. In order not to look for it in that giant list, use the hotkey Ctrl + F and type “charmap” into the search. After launching the application, the following table will open:
You need to find and select the symbol you need, then copy it from the bottom line and paste it into the place you need. Quite convenient too!
First: I will no longer write directly on the site, that is, online. Well, what's up, you write and write, I accidentally pressed the wrong button (I don't even know what I pressed) and the browser showed the previous page, without breathing I move forward - and nothing. The editor opens, but is already empty. And everything from the beginning. Now I'm writing in Notepad++. For anyone who doesn’t have this yet, I recommend finding and downloading it.
Second: What I wrote and what disappeared.
I'm tired of rummaging around on the internet looking for codes for different symbols. Well, for example, I want to enter French quotes in Photoshop - Christmas trees. “Well, here they are.” Maybe there is a way to find them in Photoshop, but I’m not a designer and I use Photoshop once a month. But I know that any character can be entered using ALT input. This is when you hold down the ALT button and press numbers on the numeric keypad (this is the block of numbers on the right, under NumLock). Then you throw ALT, and the desired symbol appears at the cursor location. And then I decided to post these codes here. On that website. I’ll make a link from the main page and when necessary, open the site, click on the link and here are the codes.
I'll start with these very quotes:
alt+0171 — “(quotes open)
alt+0187 — "(closed quotes)
You must enter all four digits, including zero.

There are many more existing symbols - and these are not only letters, numbers, mathematical and punctuation signs, and many others - than there are keys on a computer keyboard. Microsoft employees who developed the Windows system solved this problem by assigning each character a unique code, which is entered using the Alt key.
To view the list of all existing symbols, go to the Start menu and then:
All programs -> Accessories -> Utilities -> Symbol table
As a result, a table of characters in Unicode will open.
For reference: Unicode is a character encoding standard that allows you to represent the characters of almost all written languages. Unicode was originally created to eliminate encoding errors.
To convert the table into an encoding convenient for you, you need to check the box next to “Additional viewing options” and use the drop-down menu to select the required character set (“Cyrillic” for the Russian language).
Alt codes
To dial an Alt code, you need to hold down the Alt key and press the indicated numbers of the code one by one, after which the Alt key is released. The symbol will appear after releasing the key.
HTML mnemonics
In addition to Alt codes, the table contains HTML mnemonics.
A mnemonic is a coded representation of a character in HTML that begins with an ampersand "&" and ends with a semicolon ";".
Accordingly, in HTML, for example, the “greater than” symbol can be written in two ways:
> - like a regular symbol
> - as a mnemonic code;
A symbol can only be displayed if it is presented in the font being used. Otherwise, you will see a rectangle, a question mark, and something else indicating that there is no image for the specified symbol.
Now this problem is successfully solved thanks to plug-in fonts.

What is alt code? Alt code is the characters that are displayed when you press the key combination on the keyboard Alt + X, where X is a set of numbers (a specific number) on the NumPad. NumPAd is a block of numbers on the keyboard, usually located on the right. Alto symbols on a PC with operating Windows systems are not available when using a regular keyboard. They can only be called using additional commands. Hold down the ALT button and enter a number in the decimal number system. I hope everything is clear here. The table of Alt codes will help you navigate and find the desired symbol.
Attention! Enter numbers on the side Num-pad keyboard.
