For everyone who wonders how to enter characters into your text documents that aren’t on your keyboard.

This includes symbols like the Copyright © or Trademark ®.

To make this work, hold down the ALT-Key while you type in the associated number on the Numeric Keypad. This will not work with the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
