On some systems, this is limited to the BMP (characters up to U + FFFF). </P> <P> In order to enable a universal (independent of language settings) input method in Windows, one can add a string type (REG_SZ) value called EnableHexNumpad to the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Input Method and assign the value data 1 to it . Users need to log off / in on Windows 8.1 / 8.0, Windows 7, and Vista or reboot on earlier systems after editing the registry for this input method to start working . Unicode characters can then be entered by holding down Alt, pressing the + on the numeric keypad, followed by the hex code - using the numeric keypad for digits from 0 to 9 and letter keys for A to F digits - and then releasing Alt . This may not work for 5 - digit hex codes like U + 1F937 . </P> <P> If, as on many laptops, the numeric keypad is unavailable, the utility UnicodeInput can be downloaded . If one invokes this program when typing text, the window shown on the right appears; to produce the desired character and make the window disappear, enter the hex value and press ↵ Enter . </P>
