Open up "Character Map" from the Windows taskbar to see a complete list of characters of the chosen font. The keystroke to type a particular character is shown at the lower right corner. See picture below. "Alt+0232" means press and hold the Alt key, then press 0232, then release the Alt key.

Thanks Kevin. I just learned something. 😊

You're welcome. It is far easier doing this on mobile devices: you just press and hold an alphabet, and all the foreign alphabets appear as options (see picture below). I wish the PC platform has the equivalent of that, instead of having us memorize the different Alt codes.
