Shrek has a roommate? Not you...TMI ;-).
Yeah, weighs about 380 lbs, snores horribly and he has the same name, only I really think he is a nice troll not an Ogre. Walk in and say, "Hi Shrek!" and get a "Hi!" back in stereo.

Two notes:
Bill's method works in Windog, but only using the numbers on the numeric keypad.
Whether or not Alt or AltGr + a letter works, depends (at least in Windog) on which keyboard layout you have chosen. I used to use Brazilian Portuguese, because I could put all kinds of neat stuff quickly. E.g., e' gave me é (e + two ' gave me e'). But, they changed it.
Windog has a utility called "Character Map". It has all the special characters.
Screenshots of Character Map Icon and of Character Map in use, below. Once a character is highlighted, there is info about that character in the bottom line, e.g., how to make the character with keystrokes. I have Character Map pinned to my task bar because I write stuff in English, French, Danish, & Swedish. I only remember the key strokes for the letters I use a lot (æøå, éè), can't remember any of the upper case letters.
I think "charmap" is just an abbreviation for Character Map.Windows has something called "charmap" that is virtually identical to that. Start -> Run -> charmap

Certainly it is. It's charmap.exe, the Windows accessory/utility that displays various character maps and allows you to copy and paste. I think it's been there since at least Windows 98, maybe earlier.I think "charmap" is just an abbreviation for Character Map.

I guess it's me. I thought Windog was some kind of aftermarket thing you downloaded, perhaps shareware or freeware. I've never encountered the term "Windog" before. The term I'm familiar with is Windoze.Is that humour that I don't understand or did you not realize I meant Windows when I wrote Windog?
Windog is my opinion of that operating system, though with Win 7, it is getting better, albeit with issues, e.g., every new version of Windows Explorer has a simpler, less useful search function.I guess it's me.

I would use Linux, but my professional tax software and QuickBooks® run on Windows. I have run a Windows inside of Linux, but that sort of defeats the purpose of running Linux and it's a PITA. I run QB because I am a QuickBooks® ProAdvisor, so different accounting software wouldn't really solve my problem.Best Windows ever was 2000. XP was tolerable. Vista was an abomination. 7 is a bit better than Vista... I've been reading chit-chat from my technical buddies (I'm not in their league) and from what I hear Windows 8 is going to be the worst ever.
I've heard that Windows 8 is doing away with the start button, and they've made it difficult or impossible for after market developers to put it back. That's the chit-chat and I don't understand the details so don't ask me.
Explorer (AKA "Windoze Exploder") was never good except for users too technically challenged to download Mozilla or Firefox.
I guess charmap has been here since Win3.0. It's probably time that they should replace it with something useless and difficult to use, preferably with a user interface that nobody can understand.
Maybe Linux is the future. It's already the basis for half of the Internet, the so called LAMP constellation of free GPL public license software, Linux (o/s), Apache (web server), MySQL (database) and PHP (programming language), the basis for web servers including DC's server and vBulletin forum software.
It's kind of good to know that DC does not run on Microsoft software.
