For years I have used a software product called PopChar. I displays all the characters in a font and by clicking on the character it will place it in your application. Here is the URL: http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/. It works on MAC and PC.

You can inspect it with Windows' Character Map utility. It will indicate the key sequence to type it in the status bar. If you're using a Unicode font, 097 is wrong. Use one of the methods documented here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3b1/index.htm Or just cut and paste from the "browser test page" that links to.
