Is there an application or a utility for generating non-characters, such as U-2028 and U-2029 (line separators)?
My preferred method is to type into a browser address bar eg:
javascript:'A\u2028B\u2029C'
and then copy and paste them from the page.
If you really need to enter such characters a lot, you could potentially use MSKLC to create a keyboard layout that can type them directly. For example on my own keyboard layout I've got non-breaking-space, zero-width-space and half-space on shift and alt combinations with the space bar.
Note that browser support for displaying replacement glyphs for these particular characters may vary, so if you don't see them, try another browser. They are visible for me in Chrome (52.0.2743.116).
If you are with Windows, you don't need external tools: press alt, and + sign, and the hex code.
If you need \u2028, you press Alt and +, and 2028, the sign appears.
It depends on the code page you are using. Please refer to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page
In my case, with my code page, I have ý when typing alt code 2028.

When i tried using rest client inside vs code to send http request via shortcut ctrl+alt+r it produced weird dot (under the letter which cursor was on while pressing the shortcut)
Once the weird produced it messes up with request body.
Please see the image for reference.
I tried looking up the detail of the shortcut ctrl+atl+r. But could not figure out the source of problem.
Those dots are called diatrics marks

How do I see the current encoding of a file in Sublime Text?
This seems like a pretty simple thing to do but searching has not yielded much. Any pointers would be appreciated!
Since this thread is a popular result in google search, here is the way to do it for sublime text 3 build 3059+:
in user preferences, add the line:
"show_encoding": true
Another option in case you don't wanna use a plugin:
Ctrl+`
or
View -> Show Console
type on the console the following command:
view.encoding()
In case you want to something more intrusive, there's a option to create an shortcut that executes the following command:
sublime.message_dialog(view.encoding())
With the EncodingHelper plugin you can view the encoding of the file on the status bar. Also you can convert the encoding of the file and extended another functionalities.
For my part, and without any plug-in, simply saving the file either from the File menu or with keyboards shortcuts
CTRL + S (Windows, Linux) or CMD + S (Mac OS)
briefly displays the current encoding - between parentheses - in the status bar, at the bottom of the editor's window. This suggestion works in Sublime Text 2 and 3.
Note that the displayed encoding to the right in the status bar of Sublime Text 3, may display the wrong encoding of the file if you have attempted to save the file with an encoding that can't represent all the characters in your file.
In this case you would have seen an informational dialog and Sublime telling you it's falling back to UTF-8. This may not be the case, so be careful.
ShowEncoding is another simple plugin that shows you the encoding in the status bar. That's all it does, to convert between encodings use the built-in "Save with Encoding" and "Reopen with Encoding" commands.
plugin ConverToUTF8 also has the functionality.
working in eclipse,when I type 'tab',it insert 4 spaces,it works well.but after ctrl +shift +f to format,all the 4 space will been replaced by tabs.how to stop it?
Window->Preferences->Java->Code Style->Formatter: Edit Active profile->Indentation->Tab Policy: Select Spaces
You can't change the default profiles so you must provide a new profile name, then press the Apply button, then the Okay button. It may help to press the Apply button once you have returned to the Formatter screen. Go back and look at the Tab Policy again to verify that your changes were saved.
Including the above suggestions, I recommend searching for code style or style to get to the coding standard being applied with the user requests formatting of the code. It is possible that the code style uses tabs instead of spaces.
The only way that currently works is to use Ctrl-A Ctrl-X Ctrl-V on all code after using Ctrl-Shift-F. This will replace all tabs with spaces.
Don't know which version of Eclipse you are using but for
Eclipse 3.6 (for example) you may go to
Window->Preferences->General->Editors->Text Editors->Insert spaces for tabs
This will change Eclipse to use spaces instead of tabs
The place in the Preferences may be different depending on which version of Eclipse you use. If you load the preferences window you can use the search function there to find "Formatters" and set your preferences for different types of files, or generally.
I want to show the symbol for the Enter key in windows xp. Is there any key combination that displays the symbol?
Windows Key Code Alt+8626
Downwards_Arrow_With_Tip_Leftwards
Do you mean something like ↲?
That's Unicode \u21B2
Create custom keyboard layouts.
This means that you can determine how the keys on your keyboard are used and you can optionally switch between multiple keyboard layouts.
For example, you can simply put the copyright symbol on the ALT GR + C, or change any other key or key combination for yourself. This saves much time for searching in character tables, and more comfortable than a lot of code to learn.
Your own keyboard layout, you can be comfortable with the program Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator click here to download
I have a strange problem with Eclipse (Helios). After a few hours of working some of my keyboard keys start printing different characters in the text editor window.
For example:
SHIFT+2 normally prints " but actually prints #
# normally prints # but actually prints /
It feels like it changes the keyboard locale from UK to US, however I don't change any settings. I am mainly using Eclipse for Android development. No other programs are affected. Any ideas on how to fix, or even what could cause such a problem?
I've hit something similar before: Windows has this evil key-shortcut enabled by default, that changes between installed locales when you press left ALT + left Shift, which is needed in many Eclipse-shortcuts. Check your keyboard -settings (or something alike) under control panel, I don't have a Windows-machine to check where you could disable this with right now.
To switch off the switch between input languages behaviour (as described by #esaj) goto:
Control Panel->Region and Language->Keyboards and Languages->Change keyboards->Advanced Key Settings->Highlight Between input languages->Change Key Sequence->Change to Not Assigned.
Jeez, what a lot of clicks!
Before you change Keyboard setting (as suggested by #dontumer), hit "left shift+ left alt" until you get your layout back. It doesn't take more than two or three times. Once your layout is back then you can change keyboard settings if you are interested.
