Code points on WindowsIn MS Word if you type the Unicode code point, followed by Alt-X, you get the character (if you have the font). This works in reverse.
Sometimes in a RichEdit control window it will work in the first direction, but not in reverse.
It does not work in Wordpad, in spite of its use of RichEdit. I don't know why not.

Subject: Code points on Windows
On Windows, it is well known that you can generate a character from its code point by holding down the alt key and typing the code point in decimal, with a leading 0, on the numeric keypad. I recall that there is also a method to do this in reverse - given a character on, say, Wordpad, one can get the Unicode codepoint for that character (copied to the clipboard, I believe). However, I have forgotten how to do this. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks,
