How to put Alt Codes in your name (e.g. ĵÕšĦŵĦā7.)

Have you seen people in Halo, CoD, CSS and other games, with their names spelled out in crazy letters? For example: ĵÕšĦŵĦā7 Well, those crazy letters are made up from Alt Codes. Why are they named "Alt Codes"? Because, the way you get those crazy letters is by, holding down [alt] and simultaneously typing numbers on your 10 key. And once you release your hold on the [alt] key, your crazy letter should appear.

Here is a step-by-step on how to get those crazy letters.

Step 1. Click [Start]

Step 2. Click [Run]

Step 3. Type in: charmap

Step 4. Now you should have the Character Map window pop up.

Step 5. Look around and find what you like best.

Step 6. Once you have found the letters you would like to use. Click on each one of them, and write down the Alt Code for each one, that should appear at the bottom right corner of your Character Map window. (Not all letters have an Alt Code.)

Step 7. Now when you name your character or account, simply hold down [alt] and copy the Alt Codes you wrote down earlier. And there you go! :D

(For games you will have to manually type in unique alt code to make each unique letter. Therefore, make sure the letters you choose show an Alt Code, because if they don't you wont be able to use them. But if you plan on using the letters for somewhere else like, Myspace, Facebook or xfire, simply copying and pasting works.)

(Also, you can just hold down [alt] and go crazy punching numbers on your 10 key, and just see what you get. It's a good thing to do when you're bored.)
