Determining a

Unmapped

Characters

To determine which key on your computer keyboard that a TROY character or symbol is “mapped” to, simply

compare the ASCII number of the selected TROY character or symbol to the same ASCII number listed in the

Standard ASCII Character Map (shown on the next page) to determine which keyboard key can be used to

access the selected TROY character or symbol.

Some of the font sets provided on the TROY Security Printing Solutions

CD contain more characters or symbols than can be “mapped” to the

available keys on a standard computer keyboard. In this case, these

characters can be accessed by manually entering the ASCII number (see

example at right) designated for each character (refer to the character

tables on the following pages). The hexadecimal number shown below

the ASCII number is used for programming mainframe computers.

To access a character or symbol that is not “mapped” to one of the keys on your Windows computer keyboard,

you can manually enter the ASCII number by holding down the ALT key on your keyboard, entering the associated

ASCII number for the character you wish to access, and then releasing the ALT key.

NOTE: You must use the numerical keypad on your keyboard to enter the ASCII number. The number keys along

the top of the keyboard will not work for this application.
