Entering Unicode characters

Unicode characters can be edited/entered using the following methods:

  1. Enter a sequence of 1-6 hexadecimal digits and immediately press Alt+X. Note that any preceding and not separated valid hexadecimal digits will be converted as well. This method can be used only when editing cells; it's not available in dialog boxes.
  2. Press Ctrl+Shift+U then enter a sequence of 1-6 hexadecimal digits and immediately press Space.
  3. Press and hold down Alt, then on the numeric pad press + and a desirable hexadecimal code, then release Alt. This method may require adding the following key in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Input Method/EnableHexNumpad
    The value of the above key should be set to "1" (entered as REG_SZ).
