Hello,
How do you enter Unicode into a document?
For example, the following chart is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_alphabet (near the bottom of the page).
Googling this question led me to this instruction page: http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm but it's got five different sets of instructions, none of which I seem to be understanding. :P
Is there a simple single answer?
Thanks

No, there is not a single simple answer. Unicode provides about 1 million different character codes for many different languages. You can choose some options in the Control Panel under Regional and Language settings. You do have to have a font that contains the characters you are trying to use.

The Windows Character Map utility might help, depending on what characters you need.

In MS Word you can also use the Insert > Symbol option to add some special characters.
