Comment:

 To further explain:
 (from an old post that deryni made long ago)

 The alt-#### codes you are talking about are a Windows method for
 inputting
 Latin-1 (I believe) characters. gtk+ uses a (what I believe to be an ISO
 standard)
 ctrl-shift-#### method. The difference being that Windows uses the decimal
 numbering
 for the characters and gtk+ uses hexadecimal numbering. The Windows
 Character
 Map shows the Alt-#### code in the bottom right and the Unicode code point
 (the
 ctrl-shift-#### code) in the bottom left. So ń is alt-0241 and ctrl-shift-
 00F1
 (or just F1).
