Modifier with multiple keys syntax in AutoHotKey

Question

I'm trying to insert a Unicode character in AutoHotKey using the keyboard shortcut like
'Alt-down' + a 9 'Alt-up'
i.e. pressing the keys + a 9 while holding down the Alt key.

I'm probably missing something (fairly) obvious but I can't find the syntax to to this.

Answer 1

I don't know what key you're trying to map, the explanation is a little confusing, but this is the right side portion of the mapping:

Send {Alt Down}{+}{a}{9}{Alt Up}

although if you only want the Unicode character and now it's number (between 256 and 65535) you can use:

{ASC num_here}
