OT: How do I generate 0x12 in Notepad?

OT: How do I generate 0x12 in Notepad?

Sorry if this is off-topic, I have scoured the Internet in search of this
answer elsewhere and have not had any luck. It occurred to me that this ng
might be full of people who could answer this question.

Here's the problem. We are trying to find a way to generate the character
0x12 within Notepad. Those are the two constraints, it's got to be Notepad
and it's got to be 0x12, a non-printable character. I can open up a file in
Notepad that contains the character already and it shows up as a little
"box" character. I can even copy and paste it into other portions of the
file, or copy it from other sources into a new Notepad file. But I cannot
for the life of me figure out how to use Notepad to generate the character
in the first place, without some copy source available.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks in advance.
