DJGummikuh@AliveDevil it used to be that you could ctrl+alt + key code on the numblock to enter such chars. Used that all the way back in 95

You can type a limited number of symbols using Alt numpad combinations, but I'm not aware of any method for typing arbitrary Unicode symbols (i.e. U+300C, U+300D, U+FF62 and U+FF63) in any Windows application.
Office has some "Alt-X"-special behavior, but that's just Office, and not any other app.

@AliveDevil ah you're right, that was pre-UTF

Microsoft really lost the Unicode-game in Windows after all these years.
Even macOS is - compared to the Ctrl-Shift-U method in Linux - akward to use.

@AliveDevil TIL btw 🤣

Not just the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th level of keyboard inputs - no you also have the Compose-key, and Ctrl-Shift-U.
Windows: Ctrl-Alt and a couple of special symbols is enough, I guess - but you need a numpad, otherwise you can only get your languages alphabet.
MacOS: Yes, you can enter any Hex-number, but you have to switch to the Unicode Hex-keyboard layout first, then press Option-Number to type that number, but please no more.
Typing on Linux: Best experience.
