Yes, try alt and 0228 instead. I can do that here, ä and it comes up right 
there. I'm sure that will do it.

  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.

    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
