Keyboard DLLs for modern Windows systems are Unicode-based.

Alt+Ctrl + any sequence of digits from the numeric key pad produces
nothing at all. (At least not on Win XP.)
The right-hand Alt key on U.S. keyboards is the "AltGr" key, even
though the physical keyboard may not be labelled as such.
Either the right or left Alt key plus digits from the numeric key pad
can be used to insert special characters.
As Chris Jacobs mentioned, in WordPad (on Win XP, at least) Alt plus
8531 (from the digital key pad) inserts the "1/3" character (U+2153).
Chris said this doesn't work in Outlook Express, though. It also
doesn't work in Notepad.
