That's ALT+0176 on the Numeric Keypad, NOT the number keys on the top row of
your keyboard ...

A-HA! I've always wondered why this never worked for me (though I'm
usually attempting the symbol for the British pound). I've only got
laptops, so no dedicated keypads on any of my computers. Thanks for
solving that little mystery.

I haven't got a laptop that I can test the theory on, but laptops have a function key that when held (or pushed, or whatever it takes) will give you a numeric key pad. I would assume you would press the function key, then press and hold the ALT key and then press the keys on the numeric key pad that you get by pressing the function key first.

There is a Character Map (Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map) that will give you thousands of key strokes using the ALT Key + the numeric keys. Of course, you can copy and paste characters from the Character Map ...
