For Windows, locate the character map by clicking Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map. Or, click on Windows and type "character map" in the search box. Select the letter you need and paste it into the document you are working on.”

I have one. Mine is in the top left handed corner next to the #1 key and to make the symbol come up, the shift key has to be held down. ~ ~ ~

God bless you always!!!
