OneNote apparently doesn't work with all of these alt codes. In Microsoft OneNote (2010), when you go to the insert symbol window, it shows you a base 16 number in a text box labeled Character Code. To find the oneNote alt code for a symbol, convert the base 16 number to base 10 (first digit.

16^3 + second digit. 16^2 + third digit. 16 + last digit where A=10, B=11, C=12, and so on), and that's your alt code. Thus pi with character code 03C0 has an alt code of 0. 16^3 + 3. 16^2 + 11 (C).
16 + 0 which equals 960 when plugged into a calculator. Thus pi's alt code is 960 in oneNote (2010). To locate ALT codes on a Windows Vista system try: On Windows Keyboards hold down the Windows key (located between Ctrl and Alt keys) and push the 'R' to initiate a Run dialog window. Enter 'charmap' (without the quotes) Alternatively you can enter: Start All Programs Accessories System Tools Character Map It all gets you to the same place.
Select the font that you are using then Select the character you desire. You can copy and paste the character or you can enter the alt code: U+nnnn Where U+ means hold down the Alt key while you enter the 3 or 4 digit number nnnn Have fun!!! I guess there are people here who use Greek letters fairly often, and I wondered if there was any place where I could get a complete list of Alt codes of four digits for the Greek letters.
Specifically the need for the lowercase 'n' (ie, which looks like a 'v') and the same letter, except with a bar over it, for symbols of neutrinos and antineutrinos respectively. If you could point me in the right direction (or simply tell me Alt codes), that would be great! PS I have a QWERTY keyboard, if that makes a difference.
One of the many small, but annoying, limitations in Office for Mac is the Insert Symbol feature. In Word for Windows it’s with a list of recently used characters: Or open up the main dialog to scroll through many more symbols or jump to exactly the one you want. But Word 2016 for Mac is just a cursory effort that’s typical of Microsoft’s ‘just enough – but no more’ attitude to the Mac version of Office. Here’s Insert Advanced Symbol. We assume the term ‘Advanced’ is used here sarcastically because there’s little ‘advanced’ about it. As Office-Watch reader, Peter C. Noted in an email to us “ b” The Word for Mac dialog only shows the first 228 characters in a font!
That’s OK for an old-fashioned ASCII font but modern Unicode fonts can have over 100,000 characters! At least in Word for Windows you can scroll through the list.
Also missing is the important ‘subset’ pull-down list. If Word for Mac supported the full range of characters, the subset feature would let you jump to a group of characters. Even if you know the ASCII or Unicode number for the character, you can’t type it in as you can in Office for Windows.
The Keyboard Shortcut option is no help either, because it’s limited to making shortcuts from the symbols visible on the dialog. The fix The fix for Macintosh users is the same as in Office for Windows look to the operating system. In Office for Windows, use the The equivalent on the Mac is the expanded keyboard setting. Go to Apple System Preferences Keyboard and check the option ‘Show Keyboard and Character viewers’.
Now the top toolbar has an extra icon. Choose the Keyboard viewer or the Emoji & Symbols floating window.
