Ascii 157 (Decimal) will give you a symbol (At least under OS/2 Windows). On

the <Alt> key and type 157 on the numeric keypad, then release the <Alt> key.
This should give you the appropriate symbol. (Can't guarantee it - two separate
tables gave me different ANSI codes for it and I actually found it by
experimenting).
