Convert Unicode to Alt Code

Need to represent special characters using Alt codes? The Convert Unicode to Alt Code Tool transforms each Unicode symbol into its corresponding Windows Alt+Numpad code, giving you the flexibility to insert symbols where direct input isn’t possible such as legacy apps or numeric keypads.
