Ok, I must still be doing something wrong.
The letter I am trying to identify is the
ä
when I highlight it and press the 5 three times it says character number 2 2 8.
Now when I go to word press alt and 2 2 8 where I am trying to put this letter
the capital letter S is inserted.
So, clearly I am doing something incorrectly. Any advice?

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
