Try typing the ASCII code for it. Press the Alt key then enter 041 and

That only works if you enter it on the numeric keypad. Which smaller
laptops do not have (except via an obscure fiddle).


As mentioned yesterday, just plug in a second (full size) keyboard, so
when the time comes for you to need a numeric keypad, you have it. You
don't have to 'switch' to the other keyboard; just reach over and start
typing on it.
