Typing symbols into a document by code number:
For example, here’s how to type the symbol ñ whose code number is 164. Hold down the Alt key, type 164 by using the numeric keypad (the number keys on the far right side of the keyboard). When you finish typing 164, lift your finger from the Alt key, and you’ll see ñ on your screen! Try it! Windows copied that chart from DOS. But Windows goes beyond DOS by letting you also use this fancier chart:
