I believe I've asked this before, but I don't remember what anybody said. Anyway, to type a unicode character in Windows, you type Alt, the + key, and then the code. However, pressing Alt-E or Alt-F in Chrome opens the wrench menu, disabling me from typing any characters with E or F in them; and doing alt-D selects the URL bar, so the rest of the code ends up in the URL bar. How do I prevent this?

Holding Alt and typing the number works fine for me. I never heard of the method you're talking about.

I am talking about Unicode characters, not alt codes.

I can't even do normal Alt-Codes on my machine, some of the Alt+NumPad keys are also taken for other things.

I've tried to find some discussion about it online in the past, but I've been unable to.

Depending on the codes you're trying to do, just set up Windows to use the International Keyboard layout. Accented characters like é, á, ú, etc., become a result of pressing ' and then the character that you want accented. This also works with " to make characters like ë or ü. A backtick makes characters like è, and ^ makes characters î or û. There are more Unicode characters given by holding alt, but for example, Alt+e makes é, which can be formed in the way I stated before.

"Depending on the codes you're trying to do, just set up Windows to use the International Keyboard layout."

Unfortunately this is not a solution, usually I'm using it for symbols like plus-minus and squared.

@OP: You can type it with just the numpad, can't you? Pretty sure that you don't have to use the hexadecimal version.

@NXT,

Some keyboards don't have the numpad.

Well, I know the Windows International layout has the squared symbol as Alt+2 (not 2 on the numpad), ². It doesn't have plus-minus to my knowledge, though, and I don't know if it's the same on the International layout on other operating systems (I believe it is on Ubuntu, but feel free to correct me. I don't use it enough to remember its international layout completely).

No, you can't. You have to use the normal pad.
