Alt codes Short Summary

The Alt codes, commonly called Alt Codes are as popularly known to numerical codes which can be entered dingbats, symbols, or special characters from the keyboard to insert in the text of the chat rooms, in notes, messages, the mission or in-room names. Initially, these characters were used to decorate some interface elements of the first versions of Habbo (eg buttons, icons of private rooms, received SMS, etc.). Currently, and not long ago, it is used solely for decorative purposes or to emphasize the text being written.

With the final implementation of the new Habbo and with the new fonts for the dialog texts, some of these symbols were adopted in vector format while others were no longer displayed through the client. However, there are some symbols that are only visible from parts of the client interface where the Volter font is still kept, for example in the mission or on the wall notes.

A brief history of the ASCII Code:

The ASCII code (acronym in English for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, ie American Code (Je! Lease American …) The standard for the exchange of Information) (pronounced Aski). It was created in 1963 by the American Standards Committee or “ASA“, this body changed its name in 1969 by the “American Institute of National Standards” or “ANSI” as it has been known since then.

This code was born from reordering and expanding the set of symbols and characters already used at that time in telegraphy by the Bell company. At first, it only included capital letters and numbers, but in 1967 lower case letters and some control characters were added, thus forming what is known as US-ASCII, So with this set of only 128 characters, it was published in 1967 as standard, containing all the necessary to write in English.

In 1981, the IBM company developed an 8-bit extension of the ASCII code, called “code page 437“, in this version some obsolete control characters were replaced by graphic characters. In addition, 128 new characters were incorporated, with symbols, signs, additional graphics, and Latin letters, necessary for writing texts in other languages, such as Spanish. This is how the characters that go from ASCII 128 to 255 were added. IBM included support for this code page in the hardware of its model 5150, known as “IBM-PC“, considered the first personal computer. The operating system for this model, “MS-DOS” also used extended ASCII code. Almost all computer systems today use ASCII code to represent characters, symbols, signs, and texts (195).

How to use ASCII code:

Without knowing it you use it all the time, every time you use some computer system; but if what you need is to obtain some of the characters not included in your keyboard you should do the following, for example:
