How to type Alt codes on Windows
- Turn on Num Lock on your keyboard.
- Hold down the Alt key on the left side of the keyboard.
- While holding Alt, type the number code on the numeric keypad (the number row will not work on most laptops).
- Release Alt and the symbol appears where your cursor is.
Alt codes let you type special characters that are not printed on your keyboard — é, ©, €, ★ and hundreds more — by holding Alt and typing a number on the numeric keypad. This finder keeps the most useful codes in one searchable table, so you never have to memorise them.
Search by the symbol or by its name, click any row to copy the character, then paste it into your document, post or password. The table covers accented letters for European languages, currency signs, math notation, arrows, quotes and everyday symbols.
How to use the Alt-Code Finder
- Search the table by a symbol, a name like “euro”, or part of a code.
- Click the row you need — the symbol is copied to your clipboard.
- Paste the symbol into your document or post.
- To type it by hand later, follow the Num Lock steps under the table.
Key features
- 120+ searchable Alt code entries
- Filter by symbol or name in real time
- Click any row to copy the symbol instantly
- Covers accents, currency, math, arrows and quotes
- Includes a simple guide to typing codes on Windows
Frequently asked questions
Do Alt codes work on a laptop without a numpad?
Most laptops need Num Lock with the embedded number keys, or an external numpad.
Do Alt codes work on a Mac?
No — macOS uses Option-key combinations instead; these codes are for Windows.
Why did nothing appear when I typed a code?
Num Lock must be on, and the code must be typed on the numeric keypad while holding Alt.
