Try ALT 0169

That's great for that specific font, but fonts can have different
symbols for the same ALT stroke.

I wish the old Windows 95/98 Character Map worked under XP, as it
showed all alt codes for all fonts, while XP's only shows specific
codes for specific fonts, and usually ignores the ones that are
'supposed' to be on the keyboard.

True, but you can find the codes easily enough by setting up an excel page
with two columns, one for the character and the second using =CODE(A13)
(where A13 is the address of the cell with the character in it). Or you can
do it the other way round with numbers from 0 to 256 down the left hand
column and =CHAR(A13) (where A13 is the address of the cell with the number
code in it. You have to remember to put a zero in front of the number
returned, and (in my case) remember to turn on "Num Lock" before using!
