Latin Cross Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Latin Cross because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+271D, which you can use as ✝ in HTML, \271D in CSS, or type with Alt+10013 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Latin Cross is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+271D is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Latin Cross has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ✝ or the hex escape ✝.
