Hi Teethless mama and Gord,
Thanks for your replies but Alt+= doesn't do anything for me. I use XL2003
Hungarian version, default font is Arial.
Alt+0063 gives a ?. The interesting thing is that when I insert ? via
Insert/Symbols(Font:Normal text, character code:03A3, character
set:Unicode/hexadecimal), a ? is displayed in the cell, the CODE function
returns 63, the cell's font remains Arial.
When I type in a ? it is displayed as ? and CODE is 63.
Any ideas?

I wouldn't know about Insert Symbol, I'm on Excel 2000. If you need a
shorter cut, you could try a macro assigned to a custom toolbar button:

ActiveCell = "S": ActiveCell.Font.Name = "Symbol"
