This did not work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing characters). The new Alt+0### combination (which prefixes a zero to each Alt code), produces characters from the newer "Windows code pages." [a] For example, Alt+ 0 1 6 3 yields the character £ (symbol for the pound sterling) which is at 163 in CP1252. [2] [b]

In Unicode, the implicit directional mark characters are encoded at U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK, U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK (‎) and U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK (‏). In UTF-8 these are D8 9C, E2 80 8E and E2 80 8F respectively. Usage is prescribed in the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. [1]
