Windows has an accessory called "Character Map" which can be used to view all possible characters and keypad combinations.

I believe it's a feature they've carried though every operating system all the way to XP.

I'm running Windows 2000 and I can find it from the following path...

Start Menu> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Character Map

Yup, that'll work too.

You can use Character Map to view the characters that are available in a selected font. Character Map displays the following character sets: Windows, DOS, and Unicode.

You can copy individual characters or a group of characters to the Clipboard and paste them into any program that can display them. Or, depending on the program you are using (such as WordPad), you can even copy characters by dragging them from Character Map directly into an open document.

Using Character Map, you can search for characters by Unicode character name or Unicode subgroup (such as arrows or mathematical operators) or by other special classifications.

You can also use Character Map to view and copy private characters that you have created using Private Character Editor

Some more useless info.

Aloe, and that's only because I gave you the upgrade from your Windows 2.0... Must be nice to have a file manager and not have to worry about some silly right-click features...

BTW, ever got it to work in VMWare or whatever you were using, connetrix?

Yes:

Pretty much anything for the modern day geek is here.

Right click actually does work on more modern programs, such as IE5 and other browsers, and any programs designed for Win 9x running under the Win 32s subsystem.

I've also managed to emulate Win 95 and Win NT 3.51 which is an excellent OS IMO, at least for it's time.
