I'd like to know if one can make weird charcters under Linux without
having to use a C program to search a file for a certain string and
replacing it with chr($num) [under perl]. etc...
Under Windows95 this is done by holding the alt key + a number
combination.
And how do you find the answer?
By trying perhaps: let me see .. press Alt, type 161 on the numpad,
release Alt: ¡, an inverted exclamation sign, for those using Latin-1.
But that would require imagination and courage...
Or by reading the docs perhaps? Let us look at the Keyboard/Console HOWTO:
8.5. Composing symbols
One symbol may be constructed using several keystrokes.
o LeftAlt-press, followed by a decimal number typed on the keypad,
followed by LeftAlt-release, yields the symbol with code given by
this number. (In Unicode mode this same mechanism, but then with 4
hexadecimal digits, may be used to define a Unicode symbol.)
...
No, that would be too easy. Pollute linux-kernel, that must be it!
