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.


It only works with the numeric keypad not the regular number keys!
