Also, what does the d mean in u264d - for me I can press any key, e.g. right arrow after typing the numbers and the unicode char is inserted. If I type 'd' then the unicode char followed by 'd' is inserted.
I just thought - that trailing d is for decimal, right ;-)
No, as John told it's part of the unicode character. 0x264 is ɤ and 0x264d is ♍.
OK, thanks. Guess I was confused with the Alt-nnn numeric keypad bindings for extended ascii characters.
Hehe, does this work on Linux? Never tried it but I also still know it from along time ago where MS-DOS were a modern OS ;-).
But the nnn is the decimal representation of an ASCII character, the code typed after Ctrl-Shift-u is always a hex number.
