Alt Codes
Alt Codes is a method for Windows computers for entering characters using the keyboard. This method is used for characters that are not available on the keyboard. Habbo users often use these characters in their Mottos and Room names to make them look more attractive.
The appearance of characters depends on the used font. Habbo uses a subset of the Ubuntu font with a small number of characters replaced by characters designed by Sulake itself. These characters are derived from the Volter (Goldfish) font, the font originally used for Habbo and designed by Sulake.
There are two type of Alt codes, codes with one or more leading zeros and codes without leading zeros. Codes with leading zero correspond with the Unicode numbers (in decimal notation) of Unicode characters.
Codes without leading zero range from 0-255. A higher number is the same as the number modulo 256. So for example Alt + 7 is the same as Alt + 263 and Alt + 2567.
How to do Alt Codes
Alt codes work when 'Num Lock' is on (laptop) or by using the numeric key pad (on most computers, and even some laptop keyboards).
To use these alt codes, you must:
- Hold down the Alt key (Alt + Fn for some laptops).
- Type the corresponding numbers on the numeric key pad (for some laptops you have to use the keys 7-8-9, u-i-o, j-k-l and m).
- Release the Alt key.
Users that don't have a numeric key pad on their keyboard may also use On-Screen Keyboard. To use this press the Windows key and type "osk" and press the Enter key. Then enable numeric key pad in options and follow the instructions above.
Alternatively to using Alt codes, you can copy the corresponding characters from this wiki page and paste it into Habbo. This method is especially handy for people who don't use a Windows computer.
