Why can't you use keys at top to use this? lot's of laptops does not have keys at side..including mine...
Submitted by Jae Cee (not verified) on Thu, 12/23/2010 - 21:24.
On a laptop computer, there usually is no numeric keypad. You need to press the FN (function) and the NUMLK key in order to use the ALT key to make symbols. So, FN + NUMLK will enable this function for you.
The numbers are on the fronts of certain keyboard keys: M=0, J=1, K=2, L=3, U=4, I=5, O=6, 7=7, 8=8, and 9=9. To end function just press FN + NUMLK again.
ALT + 13= ♪
ALT + 14= ♫
ALT + 15= ☼

Widescreen laptops have this facility. If you wish to use alt codes, you can buy a USB numpad for your laptop. It has all the numbers, symbols and keys on this facility. Most computer keyboards and widescreen laptops only have this. Not so much with notebooks and smaller screen designed laptops. Sorry.

how to type thisone?: ツ (I copied it ;))
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Mon, 09/12/2011 - 02:02.
That is a Japanese character "tsu", not a smiley. Enable a Japanese keyboard on your computer and type tsu, and you should be able to make it. Make sure it does not end up つ because that is also tsu.
