If you have standard MS-keyboard (with windows running) - make sure the <NumLock> key is on. Then type in 232 (in the number pad) while pressing down on <ALT> key.

There is a similar sequence available or MAC keys - but I do not remember it.

That's not what I get. Pressing alt 232 gives me Φ. alt 251 gives me √.

Hello, DanaAJames!

Type & # 8 7 3 0 ; without the spaces.
