Alt Codes Finder
Windows alt codes, Mac shortcuts, and HTML entities — click any card to copy the symbol.

What Is a Alt Codes Finder?
Alt codes are numeric keyboard shortcuts that let you type special characters and symbols — accented letters, currency signs, math symbols, and more — that aren't printed on a standard keyboard. Windows reads a specific Alt + number sequence and inserts the matching character wherever your cursor is.
