Hello,
Are you using Microsoft Word? If so, just try entering the four-
digit hex number ("0D02" or whatever it might be) and then pressing
Alt+X.
Alternatively, run Character Map (filename: CHARMAP.EXE), select
the font you are going to use, check the Advanced View option at
the bottom, and use the search field to search on the type of
character you are looking for, e.g, "anusvara".

Advice pls: I'm trying to enter special characters but have encountered
problems, probably my understanding.
MS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315684 says
"Press and hold down the ALT key while you type the four number
Unicode value for the character.
Note that NUM LOCK must be on, and you have to use the number pad
keys to type the Unicode
character value."
I have tried this and as soon as I depress the first numeric key I get a
beep indicating rejection of this action.
I am guessing that guessing that num lock is not enabled by default
on the T43.
How do I enable it. I googled and got some scary stuff about
registry editing.
Pls help on this.
And once enabled, how do I invoke it (as opposed to the Scroll Lock which is
on the same key).?
I also vaguely recall once seeing on some computer a small screen display
when any of these special key functions was active. Is this part of the OS
or do I need to download some special ap?
[I need this for entering some special characters to display a Pali in
Latin characters.]
Thanks for all help
Jeffrey Race
