I've been using the Alt code for the ellipsis, 8230, for some time now, in several applications. A few days ago it stopped working, and &
is displayed instead of …
when pressing Alt
+8
+2
+3
+0
(on numpad). This happened both on my desktop and on my laptop (where I use it with Fn
). Both run on 64bit-Win-7 with code page 850, and both might have recently updated Windows and Opera 12.
What could be the reason this input method got disabled, and how do I switch it back?
Btw, I just found out that Alt
+0
+1
+3
+3
does work.
