To enable: create registry key under `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad` of type `REG_SZ` called `EnableHexNumpad`, set its value to 1, and reboot. This method is not recommended because of reliability and compatibility issue, use WinCompose method below instead. * UC_WINC: Windows Unicode input using WinCompose.

It's currently difficult to send such characters in just the firmware. -- cgit v1.2.3
