Hi Jefferson
Go to Insert Symbol Select the symbol you like and at the bottom right,
select ASCII (Decimal).
Just beside it, you should see Character Code
EX: for the Euro Sigh, its 128.
You Press and hold the Alt key and on the numeric key pad press 0128. you need
to add a 0 before the code.
Don't use the numbers above the letters.
