If you have MS Word, you can also use cmd-opt-Q, which lets you
TYPE IN an ascii code and generate that character. Just do this for
all the values and you'll have it. This is also handy if you're typing
an explanation of some Mac feature; just ask for ASCII 17 in Chicago
(the cloverleaf character).

Another handy feature in this vein is cmd-shift-Q, which makes the
next char you type Symbol font, then changes back to the current
font so you can resume typing.

Good luck.
