Or, much easier: Get PopChar. It must be somewhere on SUMEX, in the Extensions
or the Control Panels directory. Install it, restart, and click with the mouse
in the top left corner of the screen. A meny showing all the characters in
the current chosen font  drops down, and by dragging through it you can
select any character you want. It will also show you how to type it, so you
will know the next time. 
Seems to me this is exactly what you want.
