UNICODE HELP
I am trying to use UNICODE for the ℓ symbol but I don't know how.
I've Googled it and tried everything. I have a standard Microsoft keyboard....
Is there no ASCII code for ℓ?

Not sure about numpad. Decimal code of that character is 8467, HEX 2113.
From ribbon Insert-Symbol, select here Unicode (hex) and enter 2113.
If 2113 + Alt + X it shows the symbol in code box.
Insert ASCII or Unicode Latin-based symbols and characters - Microsoft Support
- Also I would like to use a typeable code instead of the ribbon Insert-Symbol
SergeiBaklan thanks but I don't understand what the HEX part means.
Is U the normal letter U or am I misunderstanding this
HEX means that's hexadecimal number. perhaps easiest way to convert decimal number to hexadecimal one (if without formulae) is to use Windows built-in calculator in Programmer mode
Not sure how to enter such characters in Excel with numpad only. If, for example, to do that in Notepad or Word, when
2113+Alt+X
(2113 on numpad, press Alt and hold Alt, press X, release Alt)
