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
