How do I enter characters from the keyboard that aren't on the keyboard? For example if I want to enter the 1/2 character \u00bd. I thought on a Winblows machine that you could do that by holding down the ALT key and then typing a sequence of numbers. It doesn't and I hadn't tried it in a long time.
ALT 0189
works OK for me in a JTextField (win xp)

That's how I thought it was supposed to work but it's not for some reason. I'll have to play with it some more.
