How can I find out the alt codes to type these? I need to enter one into a program but it won't let me copy paste, so I need to actually hold alt and type the number pad code. I've even tried to use autohotkey but it won't work for the clean special characters (the ones that look like the real letters.) I'm trying to use the special 'а' character for use in my name in a game, since it stupidly censors the name 'passion' to make it 'p***ion. So this seemed like a way to fix it.

in AutoHotkey, use the CHR() and SEND commands
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Chr.htm
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Send.htm
Send, "P" . chr( [whatever the code number is] ) . "ssion"

Windows Unicode Input via Numpad

Hello, I took a look how Windows can handle unicode via Numpad.
You have to create a registry entry manually:

Note

If this key does not exist, add it as type REG_SZ (string value).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method
EnableHexNumpad = "1"

Restart or relogin required after registry change.

Tip

For user related registry changes HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a relogin enough otherwise changes to HKLM do a full restart

mnemonic bridge:
HKLM / machine = restart,
HKCU / user = relogin

Usage

1. Hold Alt
2. Press Numpad +
3. Type the lowercase hex code (e.g. 03b2 for β, 0393 for Γ)
4. Release Alt

Important Notes

Important

Letters A–F must be lowercase for this method to work.

• For case-insensitive entry or more flexibility, consider AutoHotkey or WinCompose

Test Examples

Hex Code	Result	Description
03b2	β	Greek small letter beta
0393	Γ	Greek capital letter gamma
