    It won't necessarily work if you use the numbers at the top of your keyboard.
    • If you are using a laptop that has a function key (Fn) then hold down Alt + Fn as you type the numbers.
    • You may need to have Numlock on for this to work. If none of these options work, try the Character Map method (below).
