How to override alt-codes in Windows?

I'm trying to use ALT + 0176 to get degree sign (°).

But when I use ALT + Num 7/Home, I am redirected to the browser homepage.

Sounds like you are using a laptop that has a numpad.

The alt characters I believe need to be executed on a numpad and not the normal querty number row therefor you need to enable number lock. In order to access those number keys, you need to ensure Num Lk is toggled on.

The Num Lk key should remove the default binding for Home and replace it with Num7
