ALT + Keypad to make symbols?

[Martoch]

Hopefully you understand what I mean...you know how you can hold ALT and press a certain string of keys on the keypad to obtain certain symbols such as ALT + 0169 for ©. Well I was wondering if any of you know of good sites to show a list of the available key combinations or even some of them just to get me started. Thank you!

Start menu-Accessories-System Tools-Character Map

Thats where you can find every one for every single font.

As outlined over @ that OTHER site, these symbols are good embedded in passwords -- they make it much harder for brute-force password crackers to succeed. ™š¢Ÿ£¤¥§©®¶µª‡ÆÑØÞ

I'm in chemistry and use Alt-214 to make ±, Alt-248 makes ° and Alt-230 makes µ (Greek letter mu).

But you have to be careful, some of them don't show up in Word, you have to use Symbol.
