I'm sitting here in my yacht (74.1F inside, 78.6F outside) trying to figure
out your thinking process (or lack thereof), Skippy.

It almost appears dysfunctional. Why, when working on a computer that
contains a program (charmap.exe) that you can run by typing it into the run
menu or from the start menu or even create a shortcut for the desktop or the
task bar, would anybody want a sheet of printed paper with the alt codes on
it?

Open charmap.exe and select any character and it will give the alt code and
other information. Select copy and the character(s) goes to the clip board
hit control + v to insert the special character(s) in the text you are
working on.

Do you ALWAYS do things the hard way?

That was a helpful suggestion.
It even accounts for differences in fonts.
