Alt+ Key Command

I know that if you hold the ALT key down and hit certain numbers you can come up with various characters. Does anyone know a place that has the full list w/the characters included?

Search for your Character Map file.

This site seems to have the lot, though there are various ways of doing some of these.

Think that you are referring to ANSI codes. Several sites provide a list. Try :

Click on whatever character you want and if it can't be done by a regular key combo, the ALT+ number will be in the bottom right corner. e.g. ALT+0128 for the new Euro symbol (€).
