Cuddleme, it's easy. Click on 'start' on the bottom left of your screen. Then click on 'all programs' - 'accessories' -'system tools' - 'character map'. From the window that opens, click on the character you want to choose, click the 'select' button then click on the 'copy' button. That holds the character on a virtual clipboard. When you are typing your answer, right click on your mouse and select 'paste' from the drop-down menu when you want to add the selected character into your text.
It's not as complicated as it sounds. Honest!
