$How does one type in characters on a PC that aren't visible on the
$keyboard?

1.  Look up the IBM PC ASCII code for the character
2.  Type in this number while continuously holding down the Alt key.

   This will always generate the character; now you just have to hope
that your application program knows what to do with it.
