Medium White Circle Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Medium White Circle because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+26AA, which you can use as ⚪ in HTML, \26AA in CSS, or type with Alt+9898 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Medium White Circle is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+26AA is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Medium White Circle has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⚪ or the hex escape ⚪.
