Hello,
I can't find the ASCII code for the "approximately" symbol; I was told it's ALT 2243, but that doesn't work.
Thank you....
Configuration: Windows 7 / Internet Explorer 9.0

Hello everyone!
A quick overview:
The number displayed with the "Unicode (hexadecimal)" tab in the "special characters" window under Word for a given character is in hexadecimal (a different numbering system that has 16 characters instead of ten, unlike ours which has 10: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0). You need to convert it to decimal (our base) for the Alt code to work (you can do this with the Windows calculator in scientific mode).
In the case of the "approximately equal" character: 2248 (hexadecimal) = 8776 (decimal)
So type alt + 8776 to display ≈ :-)
At worst: copy-paste this character:
