Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but in JAWS, once the
cursor is focused on the character in question, press NumPad5 if
using Desktop Layout or CapsLock+Comma if using Laptop Layout three
times quickly. By default, this announces the ASCII value of the
character. If you want to hear the hex value instead, in the
Configuration Manager, check the Speak Character Value in Hex box
under Text Processing.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Finding the special characters code number
Hi,
I am sorry I know that this was on the list once over the last month
but I can't find the message with the information in it.
I am trying to find out how to determine the code number for a
special character. It is an umlaut which is not in the default
character list. I know that there is a way to go to the letter and
press a key combination to identify the Unicode number but don't
remember the proper key combination to identify it.
thanks for your help,
Dixie
