How does one do Alt + 0215? I think I would need yoga fingers to do that!
In the belief that you are not the only one wondering, here's how to do it in
Windows:
Press and hold down either alt key. (They're at both ends of the space bar.)
while the Alt key is depressed, key the digits 0-2-1-5 on the numeric keypad to
the right of the main section of the keyboard.
Release the Alt key.
You can find out what characters are in any font using Character Map, which
also tells you what keys to press to get them. Older versions of windows only
gave direct access to 255 characters, but the most recent versions are more or
less fully Unicode compliant so you have a repertory potentially in the tens of
thousands of characters you can use.
