I am trying to input alt codes beginning 8xxx (as mentioned here in https://www.keynotesupport.com/internet/special-characters-math-currency.shtml) into text interfaces/programs like WhatsApp Web and Notepad, but they have not been working. I can use the basic 256 alt codes with no problem, based on the ones I've tried so far.
I tried the registry workaround mentioned in "Windows 10 - Alt code results in wrong character", but despite doing so, the 8xxx series of alt codes do not work (I'm getting random Chinese characters instead).
Further information: I have to converse in multiple languages, so I have the UK, US, Chinese/Mandarin, and Japanese keyboards enabled. Thus far, I only use the alt codes with the US keyboard, which corresponds to my physical keyboard layout.
Is there a way to enable the usage of alt codes starting with 8 in everyday typing? Thanks!
