Goodness - a glass of wine later and this has grown to three pages!

Yes, it's a minefield. For me Ò is Alt+227. You can sometimes get different things for left and right Alt keys.

You have to check on your own character map. For me, (UK English, UK keyboard) there is no Alt code for Pi, so I discovered the method for making the hex code work. See attached snip. I have to look in the 'Unicode' section of the Character Map to find Pi, while Mu is also available in the much more limited 'DOS Western Europe' section (second snip - note Alt code bottom right, Hex bottom left). There is no Pi available in my DOS Western Europe list, so I have to use the Unicode hex.
