Actually any application using RichEdit 3.0 or later (e.g, WordPad and
often Outlook) uses any value higher than 255 as a Unicode value. Values less
than 255 are also Unicode, except for 0128 - 0159. Note that for values less
than 255, you need to include the leading 0 since else they are interpreted as
DOS codes for backward compatibility.

Yes, but
this works only inside the currently selected code-page, which
is 1-byte
(256 chars max). Jorge, using CP1251 (aka ANSI, silimar to
Latin1 aka ISO
8859-1), can type a german ess-zet or an icelandic thorn,
but not a
cyrillic hard sign, nor an arabic meem, nor a
devanagari
virama.
Which is a pity, since all those chars are usable
for other
manipulations in every versions of Windows ever since Win98.
Hopefully
the Alt+NumPad trick will be implemented soon in Windows and
other
systems allowing general and keyboard- and
application-independent
typing of any given Unicode
char.
