Well, on my Mac it's Shift + Option + 8.

I don't know what it is for the Windows freaks.

Hold down the ALT key and type in the numbers 167, then let go of the alt key and it will show up.

Use your number key pad, not the row of numbers at the top of the keyboard.

Just looked it up for myself. He was close. It's alt + 0176.

Of course! That makes perfect sense!

It's 167. See above table. I tried 0176 and that works too. Strange. 176 without the zero produces ░

Try holding alt and function, then using the numbers on the "7,8,9,U,I,O,J,K,L,M" keys, that may get you what you want.

The border is only an imaginary line, and Nathan likes to imagine he's in Minnesota, 'eh!

I learned that being on the phone with Apple Support for gotta be over an hour that we got my internet tethering back and that ATT in the USA does not offer it even, so after restoring and reloding we managed to get it back to how it should be Yippy So I guess I just learned how to rest up an i-phone (makes a Happy Camper)

Would you believe I'm still rollin with a Moto Razr? I got it for free about 2 years ago and can't justify upgrading to anything but an iPhone.....and well, that's not an option with VZW. Maybe someday Verizon will get one.

I hate the keypad on the Razr but it's reception is much better than any other phone i've had except the Moto E815
