'Visual Studio ALT code symbols

I'm looking for a list of ALT code symbols within Visual Studio 2010.

Specifically, I was looking for the PI symbol. I did a little search and found that it should be ALT+227 or ALT+960. I've tried both in VS but the symbols provided are different, hence why I'm asking this question here.

Help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!



Solution 1:[1]

at least in visual studio 2013, pi is at alt+995. I don't know why it is different than in the rest of windows, and I typed it out of luck while randomly stabbing around for lambda

Solution 2:[2]

ALT+227, based on IBM Code Page 437 / MS-DOS, is correct for Greek Small Letter Pi ?. See here: Windows Alt Code Symbols

ALT+960, which is the Unicode Decimal Codepoint for Greek Small Letter Pi ? is also correct. See here: Unicode Table - Greek Small Letter Pi
