hi there,
In Windows/DOS you were able to bring up ASCII Codes through the key combination of

ALT + 0XXX

How do you do that in Solus?

i ask because my letter number 2 doesn't work but that's the key that contains the arroba symbol

If you're in Solus Gnome, Mate, Budgie, then use Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut to insert any Unicode character you wish. Unicode shortcut doesn't work for me in Solus Plasma though.

More details are here.

    you could also set up a compose key with a custom key combination for @. (like Alt+a,o or something)

    I think you just have to install Gnome Tweaks and set it up there (in Budgie anyway). not sure about setting custom combinations exactly because I haven't done that yet.

    but basically it's much, much easier than memorising alt codes. Compose+1,2 gives you ½. Compose+s,s gives you ß. it's really handy!
