Special ASCII characters using the Laptop number pad

[katego]

Anyone know how to get special characters like degree, copyright, and trademark symbols using the laptop KB and number pad?

My usual ALT+0176 code (for degree) is not working when I use the laptop's number pad. It DOES work when I use an EXTERNAL keyboard with number pad.

Thanks!

PS
I asked ASUS support. They have not been helpful yet.

Google it!

5 Seconds, this is what I got:

I did, that doesn't work. My laptop has a number pad integrated in the mouse/track pad. Also tried FN, and FN+ALT. Still doesn't work.

Did you happen to run the Keyboard Firmware Update Tool V2.1.3 found at the bottom of the ASUS Download Center website?

This hotfix has caused a number of problems.

I did not. I have not updated anything manually, except for windows updates, since getting the machine 3 weeks ago. The only major thing I have done was add a 2TB SSD.

Does everything look normal in Device Manager/Keyboards?

I have an external keyboard attached.

See example below:

Thanks for your help. Yes, it all looks fine. And works properly with an external KB. Just the ALT+Code on the laptop keypad does not work.
