expected. So I tried a few others and never got what I expected. 
What's more, after an initial search, I wasn't able to enter any 
characters at all with this method.

Try putting a zero in front of the 237 - ie hold Alt down and type 
0237. I think you will get í.

It is a difference between ANSI and ASCII
