Shortcuts

This page lists codes for keyboard characters, the computer code values for common characters, such as the Unicode or HTML entity codes (see below: Table of HTML values"). There are also key chord combinations, such as keying an en dash ('–') by holding ALT+0150 on the numeric keypad of MS Windows computers. The HTML codes can be used where a literal character would cause confusion, such as using code "[" or "]" to show the left or right square bracket ('[' or ']'). Some editors, upon seeing a single bracket '[' at a word will edit a page to put double-bracket '[[' as thinking a single bracket must be an obvious typo, but an HTML code of "[" is likely to resist tampering.

Note that only common codes are shown here, among the 249,000+ characters already allocated for the Unicode character set's 1.1 million possibilities.
