It's not included in the ASCII character set, though it is in the Unicode character set. – onestop Mar 18 '11 at 12:23

The easiest way is to use the windows program charmap.

Just type charmap into the search box on the start menu (vista and 7) or select start->run and type in charmap (in 9x to XP).

Make sure the character set is set to Unicode in the dropdown in the lower half, and take your pick from the myriad of characters there. You can then copy and paste the characters to your heart's content.

NB: Not all websites will support Unicode text and may filter it out or complain at you.

You don't. You enter it in your operating system. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Mar 18 '11 at 9:21
Unfortunately, Ctrl-Shift-U appears to be specific to GNOME (GTK2) programs. – grawity Mar 18 '11 at 16:27
