How to type Alt codes on Windows
- Enable Num Lock on your keyboard.
- Hold the Alt key.
- Type the code on the numeric keypad (not the top row numbers).
- Release Alt — the character appears.
For codes with leading zeros (e.g. Alt+0169 for ©), type all digits while holding Alt. On laptops without a numpad, use Fn+Alt+number or the on-screen keyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Alt code not working?
Num Lock must be on and you must use the numeric keypad — not the number row above letters. Some laptops require Fn+Alt or the on-screen keyboard.
What is the Alt code for the copyright symbol?
Alt+0169 produces © on most Windows systems. Search "copyright" in this table and click to copy.
Are Alt codes the same as ASCII codes?
Related but not identical. Alt codes use Windows code pages; Unicode values may differ by locale. This table is a practical Windows typing reference.
Can I use these characters on Mac?
Mac uses Option key shortcuts instead of Alt codes. Click any row here to copy the Unicode character and paste it on any platform.
How is this different from the ASCII table?
The ASCII table covers codes 0–127 for programming. Alt codes focus on Windows keyboard shortcuts for special characters not printed on keys.
