alt code in pc

On Personal computers running the Microsoft Windows or DOS operating systems, additional characters to those available in the current keyboard layout can be typed using the alt key in conjunction with the keyboard's numeric pad. This technique is generally called a character code.

The mapping between numbers and characters are based on the selected code page. On Microsoft Windows, adding a leading zero to the number uses the ANSI code page rather than the OEM code page. On systems in the United States, the ANSI code page is windows-1252 and the OEM code page is code page 437. On most systems in Western Europe, the OEM code page is code page 850. For a complete list, see code page.

If num lock is disabled, attempting an alt code may cause unexpected results in some applications (for example, alt+4 can be taken as alt-(left arrow) causing a web browser to go back one page). Also, the num lock may be required for an alt code to work at all on some systems.
