Okay, do you know the ASCII Alt codes and they're symbols? Like how do you get the ~ above the N when typing in spanish? What'S the deal for typing special characters for German or whatever? I dunno....share what you know here..

Like that special little e with the accent..

é = alt0233

and alt 0198 gives you Æ

Here you go. Only works on windows.. and make sure you hold ALT whilst typing the numbers. Also, you need a dedicated number pad on your keyboard (or a USB one)

My keyboard won't make any. It just refreshes or switches pages when I do it.
