Thanks, Jim, for the tip ! I have now been able to install Quick Unicode
Input on my Vista Business setup and can use «Alt + 0[decimal code]» to
input Unicode glyphs on, e g, Wordpad and OOo 2.3. However, I have *not*
been able to input glyphs using the respective hexadecimal codes, which you
seem to be able to do. What are you doing that I'm not ?...
Nothing that I know of.
For example, to enter a lower-case Greek alpha enter “.3B1” on the
numeric keypad (with Num Lock on and Alt key pressed) using “*” for “B”.
To enter a lower-case Greek phi enter “.3C6” using “-” for “C”. To enter
Cyrillic capital letter schwa enter “.4D8” using “+” for “D”. To enter
the masculine symbol just type “.2642”.
Or you can just enter Alt-numpad-period followed by the alt-letters on
the regular keyboard, using real “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “E”, “F” rather
than the Num Pad substitution characters and the digits on the first row
of the keyboard.
You can mix and match.
Just make sure you hold down the Alt key while pressing all keys and
always begin with Alt-Keypad-Period for hex entry.
You can also enter the initial zero for these codes if you wish.
