Hold down the Alt-key and type "0176" on the numeric keypad. Another
useful one is ? (Alt-0162). For more, stir up "Character Map" and
select "Courier" font. Pick the character you want and look in the
lower right corner for the key combination. For example, the "Euro"
symbol "?" is Alt-0128, and the plus-minus symbol "+" is Alt-0177.

These may not display properly on all screens in that some users may
be using a font other than a normal one such as Courier or Times
Roman.



I'm running Windows 7, and apparently they've modified character map.
The code is given in the lower left hand corner is hexadecimal and not
decimal. There's still copy and paste, but I wish the character map
people realized many people would rather use the alt-[code] format for
oft entered symbols than open yet another program.


It's there on my Win7 machine.

Try scrolling and watch it flash by - again not all characers have a
keyboard equivalent.
