As a developer, when I search for these codes I often get results that are image-based. These are inaccessible to people with visual disabilities, and make it hard for everyone to copy-paste the codes. The first 31 alt codes are dedicated to fun characters like happy faces, arrows, and other common symbols:. As I mentioned earlier, you can use Alt codes to type characters you could otherwise type on your keyboard. This is helpful if one of your keyboard keys is non-operational.
The next few Alt codes are focused on currencies, with a few Spanish-specific characters as well. And of course, you can type the Greek letters using alt codes. These are super helpful for typing out mathematical formats wherever you need to.
