Dear Umesha, On some occasions, we need to write some characters which can't be written by using the regular keyboard (or I don't know how to write them), and to be able to put them at the appropriate places,, by typing the decimal numbers followed by the command, the code automatically converts that to the correct letters. For example, you type the code in the word application and press Alt+X and the code will then convert it to the letter or symbol whatever the case. In the next line I'm giving some examples of those characters, which I generated by applying the above mentioned command in the word application.

Sent: Monday, February 01, 2016 6:50 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Unicode Dilemma Nice explanation by Him Prasad Gautam. In addition, if you want to convert between these 2 systems, you can use windows calculator. Type the decimal number into calculator, select the hex radio button (shortcut key is F5). The calculator displays the converted number. To convert back, type hexadecimal number when in hex mode and choose decimal radio button (shortcut f6). “Further, what is the precise way to convert the decimal characters to letters in case there's no NumPad present in a laptop?” I could not understand. Can you elaborate? I don’t know any solution for other programs like notepad. Perhaps you can convert it in word and copy it into notepad as there will be rare occasions where you need such things. If you tell your exact problem, we can find proper solution. “While JAWS, by default gives the result in decimal.” I don’t use jaws method of creating characters and don’t know how to convert it to hexadecimal. If you are facing problem in any specific situation and explain it, we can find alternatives.
