Use a program like AsciiChart (on the Palm) to find the symbol's hex code.
Then, hit the "hex" button next to the text area to toggle Constructor into
hex editing mode. Enter the hex code where you want the character, then
toggle off -- I use this often to insert the over-the-air characters into
buttons for my Palm VII applications.
