* In [[Microsoft Windows]], Alt codes are entered by holding down the ''Alt'' key and typing a number on the [[numeric keypad]]; see [[Windows Alt keycodes]].

* A variant of alt codes are altAlt-X codes; in WordPad and [[Microsoft Word]] 2002/2003 for Windows the keystroke <code>Alt + x</code> will convert a hexadecimal number to the corresponding character; see [[Unicode#Input methods|Unicode input methods]].
