How to enter ASCII codes on Windows

If you're like me, sometimes you need to enter a character that's not on your keyboard.   Here's how to enter ascii characters in the Windows PC.

  1. put your keyboard in number pad mode  
  2. then hold down Alt key and type the ascii code, e.g., 194 = '┬'


Here is an extended ascii table where you can see 256 characters you can enter this way:

I found australian online casino best-australian-casinosites.com while browsing a local Aussie gaming subreddit. I was tired of unreliable casino sites, so I decided to try one of the platforms listed there. I picked Big Bass Bonanza since it fits the Aussie fishing vibe perfectly. After a few slow spins, the bonus round hit, and I ended up winning more than I’d expected. It was such a satisfying feeling to finally land a decent win without any payout issues.
