Funny thing... It seems that we are both right in part: it depends on the
application.
I have Windows NT 4.0, but installed Office 2000. In Outlook 2000, I can
type ALT+01488 and get an "×": a Hebrew aleph (U+05D0 = decimal 1488 -- BTW,
sorry for sending one more UTF-8 message).
But the same thing does not work in, e.g., the Notepad program coming with
NT 4. Crazily enough, it also doesn't work in some other Office 2000 apps,
like Word.

I guess you mean that the ALT+ method is only reliable in this range: my
chart's decimal conversions seem reliable to me till U+10FFFF...
