Windows Screen and Keyboard
The code page used for the Windows screen and keyboard is configurable by the user. To find the settings, look at the regional settings in the control panel window.
To test individual characters with the ALT key and the numeric keypad, follow these steps:
- On Windows, start a simple application, such as Notepad, that lets you enter characters.
- Press and hold ALT, then press 0 on the numeric keypad, followed by a three-digit decimal number on the numeric keypad, for a total of four digits.
- Release the ALT key. The character that corresponds to the three-digit decimal number appears on the screen.
