Apl Functional Symbol Alpha Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Apl Functional Symbol Alpha because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+237A, which you can use as ⍺ in HTML, \237A in CSS, or type with Alt+9082 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Apl Functional Symbol Alpha is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+237A is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript.
