Quickly insert any of the 255 available ASCII characters and retrieve their respective HEX codes using this free and open-source utility #ASCII characters #Hex values #Insert symbols #ASCII #Characters #Hex
Depending on your line of work, you may find yourself reaching the symbol insertion screen of your preferred word process more often than anticipated to add in certain elements that cannot be generated using the default keyboard layout.
In order to speed up your workflow and save time in the process, a lightweight program such as ASCII 1252 can bring the 255 universal characters closer to your cursor to easily insert them.
Booting up the portable executable instantly brings up a straightforward scrollable window listing the 255 ASCII characters that users can double-click on to directly insert into the application of their choice, thus removing the need to manually copy and paste each entry, while also avoiding unnecessarily filling the clipboard with elements that would be used only once in that particular day.
The application window stays on top of other programs, and can be dragged anywhere on the screen for those who want easy access to the characters that they want to incorporate in their mouse-based workflows. The utility also includes a useful side panel equipped with a transparency slider for those who want to make the interface less distracting while maintaining a relative degree of readability.
Depending on your preference, the app allows you to sort the characters in a lexicographic order, putting numbers first in line and then each letter and its subsequent special variants arranged alphabetically to find the desired item more easily. Finally, for development purposes, the program not only displays all characters’ hex codes, but can also optionally show the control characters.
If Microsoft’s built-in character selection utility feels too slow or overkill for your particular use case, then this ASCII 1252 utility can speed up your workflow thanks to its floating draggable window and rapid insertion method meant to keep you focused on your ongoing projects.
