Some of the Greek alt codes produce the wrong symbol. Eg,
alt 227 produces Ò
alt 237 produces Ý
alt 234 produces Û

The reason for the "wrong symbol" is the windows platform you are using (possibly
Windows 7)

The codes I listed work with Windows XP.

I, myself, cannot find the codes for Windows 7. I have no problem with the regular Greek
characters, but if I want to print a special character, say the letter omega with an iota
subscript (ῳ) I don't know how to do it using Windows 7. With Windows XP, I simply used
Alt 8179.

Lowercase delta is perhaps the most surprising character missing here.

Lowercase delta has a very basic use in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and virtually every
branch of science.

lower case delta δ is ALT-235 but many of the greek letters do not have an ALT code. I have
looked often for the upper case delta, but alas we have to go to the symbol font to get it.

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:

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.

Neil, what you do you want to know about lambda? Here is lambda:

λλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλλ

It has been mentioned that Alt955 prints a lamda if your platform is Windows XP.

In Windows 7, you can bring up the character map and find lambda on the bottom row fifth
character, and copy it.

It appears that there on Windows 7, there is no way to print lambda or the rest of the Greek
alphabet.
