Default Insert symbol

I would like to insert the phase symbol (Alt 0216) using a button, macro or
what ever is the easiest. I want to do this in the middle of text. Thanks.

Default Insert symbol


Copy the symbol you want to reuse, and then click AutoCorrect Options on
the Tools menu.
In the Replace box , type a unique sequence of characters for the text.
(Make sure you don't type a real word€”for example, use "infi" .)
Click in the With box, press CTRL+V to paste the copied text, and then click
Add. noe when you type infi it will converit it to your symbol.

Is there a way to insert a symbol pressing 1 key?
