Windows Unicode Input via Numpad

Hello, I took a look how Windows can handle unicode via Numpad.
You have to create a registry entry manually:

Note

If this key does not exist, add it as type REG_SZ (string value).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method
EnableHexNumpad = "1"

Restart or relogin required after registry change.

Tip

For user related registry changes HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a relogin enough otherwise changes to HKLM do a full restart

mnemonic bridge:
HKLM / machine = restart,
HKCU / user = relogin

Usage

  1. Hold Alt
  2. Press Numpad +
  3. Type the lowercase hex code (e.g. 03b2 for β, 0393 for Γ)
  4. Release Alt

Important Notes

Important

Letters A–F must be lowercase for this method to work.

Test Examples

Hex Code Result Description
03b2 β Greek small letter beta
0393 Γ Greek capital letter gamma
