The solution is to input Unicode characters (see Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, 1F36C for example) with the keyboard of a Dell Latitude E6420 which a quick Google image search tells us looks like:

Enter image description here. Notice in the picture how the orange keys Fn allows access to a "numeric keypad" type function.

How can one input the Unicode character 1F36C using the keyboard only?

Assuming you are using Windows (XP or later), hold down the Alt key then type +1F36C. To enter the + sign on this keyboard, you will hold down the Fn key and the ? / key simultaneously (while still holding the Alt key).

If this does not work, sometimes a registry key must be changed (regedit). Under HKEY_Current_User/Control Panel/Input Method, set EnableHexNumpad to "1". If you have to add it, set the type to be REG_SZ. It should then work (after a reboot).

If none of this works, you can use the standard decimal value Alt code, which is to hold down Alt while typing 127836 (the decimal value of 0x1F36C).
