      This isn't a scripting question but I figured one of the Windows Guru's here might have an answer.

      So I am typing text and I want to insert an Extend Character without using the Character Map dialog. With ASCii characters you can use the AltKey and the numeric keypad (for example, Alt-248 is the degree character). Is there a similar method to directly enter the "U+xxxxx" extended character code?

        If you have Notepad++ set the default encoding to 'UTF8 without BOM'.
        You can copy/paste non-keyboard characters.
        You can also use UFT8 coding - there are many www sites giving these.
        e,g, http://www.utf8-chartable.de/
        You need a look up table...
        For example using "\xB2" >>> ² in the output [but you could simply use ² instead]
