Windows 10 - Alt code results in wrong character
I'm on a laptop running Windows 10. I try pressing Alt+2713 to give a "✓" character, but instead I get a "Ö" character. Any thoughts as to why this might be?

By default, the numeric keypad way of entering characters by code can only access the first 256 characters. (Je crois these are defined by your system's code page for non-Unicode programs.) Codes bigger than 256 get wrapped around, so code 257 actually gets you character 1.
To enable the entry of all Unicode characters by code, create a string registry value in `Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method` called `EnableHexNumpad` with the value of `1`. Then you'll be able to enter any character by holding down the right Alt key, pressing the + button on the numeric keypad, entering the hex code (2, 7, 1, 3 in your case), and releasing the Alt key. Vous devrez peut-être log off and back on before this input type is enabled.
Notez que the non-+ method of entering ASCII characters by code will continue to wrap around even after you enable this mode.
