This answer only works if you have Microsoft; it doesn't work for Macs.

If you see a button on your toolbar that looks like a horseshoe, that's the button you use for inserting symbols. Press that button and it will give you a screen of special characters and symbols that you can select from. Select one, click on "insert" and then exit out of the screen.

If a horseshoe is nowhere in your toolbars, you most likely will be able to use the insert function. Select insert, then select symbol. The same screen as you would see above comes up and you can select a symbol (or scroll down until you see what you're looking for) and then select it, "insert", and exit out.

If you're working in new versions of Word, use the following keyboard commands:

Alt + n. Let up and then press "u". A small window will show up with commonly used symbols. If you don't see what you want there, click on More Symbols and you'll get a vast amount of symbols and special characters to choose from. You can insert whatever you need, one at a time.
