There are two groups of system code pages in Windows systems: OEM and Windows-native ("ANSI") code pages. (ANSI is the American National Standards Institute.) Code pages in both of these groups are extended ASCII code pages. Additional code pages are supported by standard Windows conversion routines, but not used as either type of system code page.
Another more recent free download to adapt a Windows keyboard for Esperanto letters is Tajpi - Esperanto Keyboard for Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7 / 8 by Thomas James. As cons some configuration could suppress hotkeys, like Ctrl+W to close browser tab, it will type ŭ instead.

Compared to earlier telegraph codes, the proposed Bell code and ASCII were both ordered for more convenient sorting (i.e., alphabetization) of lists and added features for devices other than teleprinters. [9] The use of ASCII format for Network Interchange was described in 1969. [10] That document was formally elevated to an Internet Standard ...
Current Windows versions and all back to Windows XP and prior Windows NT (3.x, 4.0) are shipped with system libraries that support string encoding of two types: 16-bit "Unicode" (UTF-16 since Windows 2000) and a (sometimes multibyte) encoding called the "code page" (or incorrectly referred to as ANSI code page). 16-bit functions have names suffixed with 'W' (from "wide") such as SetWindowTextW.
This did not work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing characters). The new Alt+0### combination (which prefixes a zero to each Alt code), produces characters from the newer "Windows code pages." [a] For example, Alt+ 0 1 6 3 yields the character £ (symbol for the pound sterling) which is at 163 in CP1252. [2] [b]
The larger character set made it possible to create documents in a combination of languages such as English and French (though French computers usually use code page 850), but not, for example, in English and Greek (which required code page 737). Apple Computer introduced their own eight-bit extended ASCII codes in Mac OS, such as Mac OS Roman.
Unicode characters can then be entered by holding down Alt, and typing + on the numeric keypad, followed by the hexadecimal code, and then releasing Alt. [2] This may not work for 5-digit hexadecimal codes like U+1F937. Some versions of Windows may require the digits 0-9 to be typed on the numeric keypad or require NumLock to be on. [citation ...
