Like if you press ctrl and 4455 you get an upsdie-down "?"


I have a very good reason, please educate me!

no-one will thank me for this as those extended characters are considered annoying but:-

the characters can be obtained by using the alt key and certain number combinations eg.) ® ã «» ▓

a list of codes can be found here

brings back the memories of coding cobol menus using these characters to build boxes & shadows etc. kids today don't know they're born with the fancy gui's and built in grapical options, give me a green-screen app anyday ;)
