CoffeeFiend Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 alt + 0160 works regardless (it's unicode)alt + 255 will generate either: the exact exact same character, or y with a umlaut: ÿ.If typing alt-255 makes a non-breaking space for you, try alt + 0255 and you'll see...It all depends on the code page being used (like Windows-1252) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I became wary of using ALT + 255 for use in filenames, because it is exploitable, being the ASCII code that the keyboard sends when you press the DELETE key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyboards only send make & break codes. It's not even close to being the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
