the alt+xxxx symbols vary from font to font and the only
way to see the alt+xxxx chars for the font you want to see
is to use charmap or just sit there typing them in one
at a time.

You would be well advised to forget about alt+xxxx chars
unless you REALLY need them real bad and will just die
if you cant use them or you are a DOS programmer making
something with a textmode GUI or just dont really care
if what you type in looks remotely the same on someone
elses system when they arent using the same font you
are using.
