How can I find out the alt codes to type these? I need to enter one into a program but it won't let me copy paste, so I need to actually hold alt and type the number pad code. I've even tried to use autohotkey but it won't work for the clean special characters (the ones that look like the real letters.) I'm trying to use the special 'а' character for use in my name in a game, since it stupidly censors the name 'passion' to make it 'p***ion. So this seemed like a way to fix it.

in AutoHotkey, use the CHR() and SEND commands
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Chr.htm
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/v2/lib/Send.htm
Send, "P" . chr( [whatever the code number is] ) . "ssion"

Windows Unicode Input via Numpad

Hello, I took a look how Windows can handle unicode via Numpad.
You have to create a registry entry manually:

Note

If this key does not exist, add it as type REG_SZ (string value).

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method
EnableHexNumpad = "1"

Restart or relogin required after registry change.

Tip

For user related registry changes HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a relogin enough otherwise changes to HKLM do a full restart

mnemonic bridge:
HKLM / machine = restart,
HKCU / user = relogin

Usage

  1. Hold Alt
  2. Press Numpad +
  3. Type the lowercase hex code (e.g. 03b2 for β, 0393 for Γ)
  4. Release Alt

Important Notes

Important

Letters A–F must be lowercase for this method to work.

Test Examples

Hex Code Result Description
03b2 β Greek small letter beta
0393 Γ Greek capital letter gamma

Celebrity net worth isn’t just tabloid fodder it illustrates how fame increasingly intersects with strategic business decisions, investments, and brand building in the real world. Today’s top entertainers often earn far more from entrepreneurial ventures, endorsements, and intellectual property than from their original craft alone, mirroring how companies diversify revenue streams to maximize long-term value. For example, in Forbes’ 2025 list of celebrity billionaires, stars such as Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian have turned music, fashion, and media influence into multibillion-dollar enterprises, contributing to a combined celebrity wealth pool of roughly $39 billion — up significantly from prior years.

A couple of tools that might be useful to you, http://shapecatcher.com/ has a box that you draw a shape into and it will bring up similar unicode characters
https://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html is the same thing but for LaTeX

Ooooh, thanks for the list! My original list was compiled for my then 9-year old daughter's first webapp: https://stevenacoffman.github.io/homoglyphs/

so she and her friends could type funny looking messages to one another. As a result, she wanted only similar rather than identical symbols.
