About Windows Alt Codes
This webpage displays common characters that are available through default fonts, but aren't easily typed with a keyboard. Various options allow a user to hide or show information while Filters hide or show different categories.
Why Build It?
I created this page after switching from an Apple laptop to a PC. I missed being about to easily type the extra characters using Apple's option key, and the websites with this information were clunky to use. Using Bootstrap and jQuery, I set out to create a page for myself that contained the information I needed.
Future Updates
- Add search field to show characters that match the typed in keyword
- Address the layout on screen sizes ≤ 1200 pixels wide
Toolkits

- jQuery
