You can use the Character Map accessory in Windows to see all the characters and their codes.
For instance: Hold down the ALT key and type 0252 on the number pad and you get an umlauted u: ü
ALT+0176 gets you a degree symbol: °
ALT+0233 is an e with the French accent ague: é
I think the codes are pretty standard in most TrueType fonts in North America.
I'm just not sure if these characters appear correctly to people in all other parts of the world.
