Mathieu, Alt+242 was the code for the "greater or equal than" symbol in the US MS-DOS codepage 437.
This character is not available in the Windows Western European codepage (1252) or the matching MS-DOS codepage 850. The character is, however, available in the Symbol font. To use this character in FrameMaker: 1. Choose the Symbol font 2. Press Ctrl + q and then 3 OR type Alt + 0178 All the characters available with FrameMaker are listed in the online "Character Sets" manual.

On the Internet, I found an Ascii table which specifies ALT + 242 for "greater or equal than" ; unfortunately, when I type that, an "equal" character appears. I modified the regional options on my computer (set to French at first) through the configuration panel but it did not change anything. I have the same problem for the "different than" character. Do you simply recommend using the Equation palette ? Any help appreciated.
