I think you're on the right track. On my rather old HP Omnibook XE3,
the Fn-F5 key combination through some weird feat of unintended black

laptop as Fn-F5.
That's by no means impossible. I once had a laptop that invoked the
number pad over the keys i,k,comma, etc. with an Fn key. Attempts to
enter ASCII values using ALT-numpad (this was back in XyIII days,
IIRC) yielded nothing. Then, by mere chance, I discovered that ALT+
the numbers in the ordinary top row of the keyboard would work.
