While we are talking about that utility, can you explain why the "Only

what is that option supposed to do?
Is that "Only when Numlock is ON"
with regard to the “Quick Unicode Input Tool”?
I haven't downloaded or tried that, so I can't comment on that.
However, if the statement "Only when Numlock is ON"
is in reference to the ALT+0nnn method, then the explanation is simple:
without the NumLock being ON, the keys of the numeric keypad
transmit codes that mean things like "Home", "Up", "Pg Up", ... "Insert".
That is, the numeric-keypad keys duplicate the functions of the
cursor-control keys (if you have those) and the little block of 6 keys above
that (if you have that) for "Insert", "Home", "PageUp",
and "Delete", "End", "PageDown".
(Why these non-numeric functions need to be on the numeric keypad
*if* your keyboard already has those other key blocks, I cannot imagine.)
I had *thought* that it worked to use the digits across the top
of the main key block (with the letters and punctuation etc),
but apparently not.
