Default find keyboard short-cut to type symbols on keyboard

You can do it using the [Alt] key along with the numbers on the number pad
(not the number keys above the standard keys). Hold the [Alt] key while
keying in the numbers. Here's a page with many of the numeric codes you'll
need:

An alternative to J latham's posting is to set up a macro for the symbol and
attach that macro to the Quick Access Toolbar.

If you do that you only have to hit one key to get the symbol to appear.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped.

Thanks.
