Comment:

 Dupe of #3933:

 > 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).
