N-ary Product Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for N-ary Product because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+220F, which you can use as ∏ in HTML, \220F in CSS, or type with Alt+8719 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. N-ary Product is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+220F is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. HTML also defines the named entity ∏ for N-ary Product, but the numeric form ∏ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an Alt code for ∏?

No legacy Alt code exists for N-ary Product because it is not in code page 437 or Windows-1252. Use the Unicode codepoint U+220F in HTML, CSS or the Character Viewer instead.

How do I type ∏ without a numpad?
