In windoze, hold alt, type in 4 digits with KEYPAD then release alt Ã¢ËœÂº

It's slightly tricky. I just showed this to my Dad yesterday.
A few things to note! Make sure the Number Lock is on.
Sometimes it is unnecessary to let up on alt and the last number key pressed at the same time.

So for instance, say I wanted to make two eighth notes (musically speaking, like this: Ã¢â„¢Â«).
First, press and hold alt (doesn't matter of it's left or right alt), then press 7, then 8--and then press 2 and let up on 2 and alt at the same time.

Ã¢â€“Ë† - alt+987
Ã¢â€“â€œ - alt+946
Ã¢â€“â€™ - alt+945
Ã¢â€“â€˜ - alt+944
Ã¢ËœÂº - alt+1
Ã¢â„¢Â¥ - alt+3
Ã¢â„¢Â« - alt+14 (or 13 for Ã¢â„¢Âª)

1.) I don't have a number lock button.

2.) What is the 'keypad'?

What is a keypad, eh? Hmmm.. I can't find any words to explain it. It's something like...uh...Arrow Keys and Number Keys combined in a compound chunk of keys often found to the right of the keyboard. Looks like this:

I think she may be on a laptop. Or one of those compact keyboards that omit the keypad.

Agreed. Mostly because I own one.

I think she may be just joking.

And this is why I shouldn't mess with web browsers:

This laptop does not even have the Fn numpad keys >:

My laptop has 4 small (Very small) arrow keys, none of the locks except caps, Fx keys that can only be accessed by holding down left shift (I investigated and have been told this is how the manufacturer made it, no reassignments.) It's quite vexing, I needed to make a no F10 patch for Keen galaxy.

You mean you do all this keening and patching and shikadi-wiki-ing and foruming and typing and more patching and pixiling on a laptop that hasn't an F10 key? That's...amazing.

There are workarounds, I abolished my caps lock key to instead type ' $' for example. (Insert prints '%patch')
