Gee, I've used the keyboard shortcuts for the extended ASCII set for about 20 years. I never did understand, though, why they're made to work only with the numeric keypad. And after I got a laptop, it took me years to realize that you can emulate a keypad with the function key.

Anyway, the Character Map accessory allows you to access all the glyphs without knowing the ACSII number.

And what I really want is keyboard shortcuts for the Open Type character set. I've never seen a way of getting that.
