umm... What language? What OS? And why are you even doing that?

› = 226 = Not ASCII = Windows ANSI
> = 62 = Standard ASCII, try ALT+62

Refer to ANSI/ASCII tables:
ANSI: ANSI character set and equivalent Unicode and HTML characters
ASCII: Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion

Question: Are you using by default a non-english/european character set? You're wishing to type the two symbols manually with ALT?

i'm on windows vista, spanish from spain
yes, i want to get > typing them manually into alt+ numbers
logitech ex100??
reason i guess is cuz i need it to write html, for starters
help plz! do i have to change to ANSI, or am i already on ANSI?
if i'm on ASCII, what does
62 Dec
3E Hex
076 Oct
? Html

mean?

Don't worry, just as i was writing this, i discovered i have < and > already on the keyboard without alt, in the bottom left hand corner. amazing i discover that now after two days looking.
However, i still would like to know the meaning of those things on the ASCII graph, and to kno if im on ANSI or ASCII. that way ill learn if i ever need to alt+ something what to do with my keyboard.

thanks

ASCII is a subset of ANSI, which defines characters 0 - 127. ANSI will vary from language to language and country to country.
