    I think the bottom line is that there is no generic way in Windows to do
    this. Some applications (MS Word, MS Outlook) allow you to enter any
    Unicode character by typing the hexadecimal value for the code point and
    pressing Alt+X.

            Wikipedia lists a number of options in various environments
    here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode
            Look for the "Input methods" section.

            I routinely use ascii codes to enter special characters
    (superscripts, degrees symbol etc) by the keystrokes "alt+code". Is
    there a similar keyboard procedure (rather than cut and paste frfrom
    character map) for entering characters directly into documents using
    unicode?
