bboyminn:

Some of the ANSI charts have both HEXadecimal (base 16) and decimal
(base 10) numbers.

For example, the capital letter 'A' is 41 hexadecimal and 65 decimal,
so to get the letter 'A' using the ALT key, you need to enter ALT 0065

You need to use a 4-digit version of the Decimal number, not the
HEXadecimal number. 

That's all I'm saying.
