Donna, You need to use the numeric keypad. If your keyboard does not have a dedicated numeric pad on the side, you'll have to use the function key version embedded on the alpha-keys. E.g. Press and hold ALT and FN, then press your numbers Your code on my keyboard would be: ALT-FN m(0) k(2) l(3) k(2). Call if you don't understand.

Looks like I need the ALT 0232 I must be missing something...Any suggestions?

It is just that some fonts, either TTF or Melco fonts, don't have those letters. So you have to find a font that does have them in order to use them.
