When I try to type U+037E on Google Chrome by using the ALT + NNNN method (hold ALT, press + on numeric keypad, and then type the unicode on the number pad) I cannot since ALT+E is keybound to opening the Settings menu. Right now I'm entering 037 on the numeric keypad then pressing the letter E on the keyboard. Is there any way for me to type U+037E without disabling any keybindings or downloading any software?

Thanks.

  • Read [Full description of Windows Alt+N codes](http://superuser.com/a/1047961/376602). `Alt`+`NNNN` requires `NNNN` to be a decimal number. Another method (write hexadecimal, then `Alt`+`x` where `x` is _literally_ `x` letter works e.g. in _Sticky Notes_) does not work in my Google Chrome browser. – JosefZ Oct 30 '16 at 09:07

  • @一二三 Not sure if I made the right registry edit then. I added a key `EnableHexNumpad` in `HKCU/Control Panel/Input Method`. Its name is (Default), type is `REG_SZ`, and data is 1. – Dancing Bear Oct 30 '16 at 17:24
  • @JosefZ Sadly, `ALT+X` doesn't work for me in Sticky Notes, although it does work in Word. Thanks for the suggestion though. – Dancing Bear Oct 30 '16 at 17:27
  • It's value not key. `reg query "HKCU\Control Panel\Input Method" /V EnableHexNumpad` should return `EnableHexNumpad REG_SZ 1` – JosefZ Oct 30 '16 at 19:56

    See [my answer on `Alt`+`+d`, `Alt`+`+e` and `Alt`+`+f`](http://superuser.com/a/1140571/376602). – JosefZ Oct 30 '16 at 20:19
  • If you have the Tampermonkey add-on installed in Chrome you can use [this userscript](https://github.com/calraith/gm_scripts/blob/master/Alt+Num_Extended_Char_Entry.user.js) to convert `U+037E` to `;` by typing `37E` and hitting Alt+X (like in MS Word).
