If you're on a PC, make sure your keypad is set for numerical. Hold down your ALT key, and at the same time, enter 0233 on the keypad. If you're on Mac, I don't know what to tell you. - mplsbohemian, 2007-08-27: 15:15:00

I'm on a laptop with no keypad. :( - Osomatic, 2007-08-27: 17:23:00

Or you could copy and paste from a web page, or from a word processing application (insert symbol) - petaj, 2007-08-27: 23:08:00
