Stopwatch Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Stopwatch because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23F1, which you can use as ⏱ in HTML, \23F1 in CSS, or type with Alt+9201 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Stopwatch is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+23F1 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Stopwatch has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⏱ or the hex escape ⏱.
