Alt code

Alt code is a type of code that works in RuneScape. To execute it, the player must hold down the Alt button and then press a specific code of numbers on the right side of the keyboard. The player must also have the Num Lock button on. It is not used often, since not many people know about it, but when it is used, many users gather around him/her asking her how she/he did it. It often is used to draw attention to a statement in chat, for example: → → → bank sale! ← ← ←

Jagex has made it so that swearing is impossible with these codes, as players can create letters such as ß, ƒ, or ç.

It is possible to make characters like these on Mac OS X by holding down the option key.
 * a=å
 * b=∫
 * c=ç
 * s=ß
 * n=˜(tilde press n by itself after that and a ñ pops up)
 * g=©
 * r=®

On 25 February, 2009, a player's use of a certain alt code enabled him to disconnect the players around him. See February 2009 Crash for more information.
