Does anyone know of a list of symbols and the keyboard strokes to create them?

example: pressing alt & 171 on the number pad = ½

Here are two that I found.

I search google by using "keyboard shortcuts alt & 171". You may can find a better list somewhere else.

Some of the alt keys are fun. For instance, Alt+255 is a good way of making passwords more secure and making directories or files appear to be inaccessible.
