    Try this instead if you have a number pad on your keyboard:

    Hold alt and type 0233 and then release the alt key.

    For my favourite, type : then hold alt and type 0254. 😛

        I believe you can do this with the on-screen keyboard! If you’re using Windows, I think that can be accessed with super+u (but I haven’t used Windows in a long time so I apologize if I misremembered or if this is no longer accurate).

      I remember this from working on a DOS PC with a German keyboard. Which has no backslash character, among other characters one need for programming. Having äöü at your fingertips is no help if you need [].
