Assume I want to enter the character "u", but the "u" key is defect on my notebook.

As far as I remember there is a possibility to enter a char NOT by pressing a certain key but
by entering the corresponding number code.
It was something like ALT + 123

How does this work in detail?

Where is the char code table?

And remember, ASCII /does not/ include those characters that the website
refers to as "Extended ASCII".

FWIW, you can also find an ASCII table as ascii(7) ("man 7 ascii") on your
Linux system
