Another way is to use >Tavultesoft's Keyboard Manager for Unicode >http://www.tavultesoft.com/keyman/unicode.shtml. One note: the last shipping version of Keyman, KM 4, does not allow explicit generation of Unicode characters; it generates 8-bit character codes, and a codepage on the system must be relied upon if this is to be converted to Unicode (which would be handled by an app). By sometime this fall, there should be a new version, KM 5, that is supposed to allow you to create input methods that generate arbitrary Unicode characters without any need for codepage files - at least, that's the plan. Because of limitations in Win 9x, this can only be guaranteed to work on NT/W2K (there may be special interfaces available that an app could use on Win9x to get Unicode characters - I know that Tavultesoft has considered that possibility, but don't know yet what will actually appear).
