Unicode glyph shortcut

[Rocky33791775s0cy]

Hello,

I use windows fonts in photoshop. I would like to be able to use unicode shortcuts,
for each glyph present in a font.
Is it possible ?
If yes, how to do it ?

Thanks in advance

I don't use Windows, but found this on Microsoft support. Can you tell us if it works for you?

Inserting Unicode characters

To insert a Unicode character, type the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then press X. For more Unicode character codes, see Unicode character code charts by script.

Important: Some of the Microsoft Office programs, such as PowerPoint and InfoPath, cannot convert Unicode codes to characters. If you need a Unicode character and are using one of the programs that doesn't support Unicode characters, use the Character Map to enter the character(s) that you need.

Notes: 

• If ALT+X converts the wrong character code into Unicode, select the correct character code before pressing ALT+X.

• Alternatively, precede the correct character code with the text "U+".  For example, typing "1U+B5" and pressing ALT+X will always return the text "1µ", while typing "1B5" and pressing ALT+X will return the text "Ƶ".

Unfortunately not.

I tested this procedure before posting. It seems simple when reading them, but it doesn't work...

Perhaps one of the volunteers who uses Windows will jump in to answer this for you.

I wish.
Thanks for your help.

Have you considered just using the Glyphs panel from within Photoshop to insert the Unicode characters?

Window>Glyphs

Yes currently I do it like that.
I was looking for a faster way.

What are some of the glyphs you are trying to use? When I have to use Windows, I use the Alt shortcuts. The old WordPerfect manuals had pages of them in the back, and some have stuck with me.

Alt key plus numeric keypad plus the four digit code:

Alt + 0151  Em dash  —

Alt + 0149 Bullet       •

Alt + 0233                  é

Alt + 0241                  ñ

Would this help?

I use Aarvard Café.
Windows shortcuts, special characters via the alt command work well
(independently of fonts and even outside Photoshop).
