Java Forum / GUI / December 2005How to enter characters beyond keyboard into JTextField?
How do I enter characters from the keyboard that aren't on the keyboard? For example if I want to enter the 1/2 character \u00bd. I thought on a Winblows machine that you could do that by holding down the ALT key and then typing a sequence of numbers. It doesn't and I hadn't tried it in a long time.
