I hadn't known this - though I guess it could be a logical continuation of the US Govt's. savvy WW2 "Operation Paperclip" philosophy: (emphasis mine)Without undermining the creative genius of Steve Jobs or the supply chain mastery of his successor Tim Cook, Prof Mazzucato found that almost every piece of technology in the ubiquitous smartphone had its origin in a government programme, dispelling the myth that the success of Silicon Valley was largely the work of eccentric entrepreneurs tinkering in their garages and savvy investments made by venture capitalists.-IainB (October 02, 2017, 10:37 AM)
How to enter Unicode characters in Microsoft Windows-fileformat.info

Method 3: Code-page SpecificI checked the code page & see it is using Code page 850w
This method depends on the specific code page you have installed.
Press and hold down the Alt key.
Type the decimal codepage value on the numeric keypad. Do not type any leading zeros.
Release the Alt key.
You can see which code page you have by typing chcp at a command prompt. Check the grid for your code page from the list of known code pages to see what characters you can enter this way.
The entries in the Unicode character information section are using code page 437.
850 is the primary code page and default OEM code page in ... e.g. in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Canada), whilst other English-speaking locales (like the United States) default to use the hardware code page 437.[4]
Systems largely replaced code page 850 with, first, Windows-1252 (often mislabeled as ISO-8859-1), and later with UCS-2, and finally with UTF-16.[nb 1]
Code page 850 differs from code page 437 in that many of the box drawing characters, Greek letters, and various symbols were replaced with additional Latin letters with diacritics, thus greatly improving support for Western European languages (all characters from ISO 8859-1 are included). At the same time, the changes frequently caused display glitches with programs that made use of the box-drawing characters to display a GUI-like surface in text mode.
In 1998, code page 858 was derived from this code page by changing code point 213 (D5hex) from a dotless i ‹i› to the euro sign ‹€›.[5] Despite this, IBM's PC DOS 2000, released in 1998, changed their definition of code page 850 to what they called modified code page 850 now including the euro sign at code point 213 instead of adding support for the new code page 858.[nb 2][6][7][8]
Don't know if it matters/helps, but (in Word) Alt 247 with Calibri gives me the equivalent symbol here. Notepad with (default) Consolas does as well.

The special character has to be available in the font you are using. Not all fonts have the entire unicode character set.something weird going on:-Ath (September 29, 2017, 05:12 AM)
from charmap you can always copy and paste: ≃yes, of course, thanks-x16wda (September 29, 2017, 05:31 AM)
Run charmap.exe, . . . It reports that to get the Asymptotically Equal To symbol you would press U+2243.
I am still trying to figure out how to find the U key (as opposed to Alt), several sources say use the Alt but it hasn't worked for me yet.-x16wda (September 29, 2017, 05:31 AM)
So sometimes older computers still don't "drop pieces" "inhuman" but the moves are almost recognizable.-TaoPhoenix (September 28, 2017, 05:18 AM)
