I know, I know-- this is something i remember from my HS typing class!
First you typed Upper case S then hit back space and hit the / key!

But what is Shift 4 on an English Keyboard? I mis ¢ from the keyboard-- and since my first Word processor used . as command key, i learned to use $0.05 instead 5¢ and now that Woolworth's 5¢ and 10¢'s Stores are gone, i rarely find i have a use for it-- i had to go look it up..
I have created short cut keys in my WP to use codes i use often, but email requires i actually remember the code numbers!

What key is missing and how did we get the character back in those good old days?
Ah, them good old days. Single quote, backspace, full stop, or vice versa!
BTW some people used to use capital I instead of lower-case l for their one. Heresy and ignorance, I thought.

In reply to:
Mr.5¢ (since you don't like Nick)--BTW some people used to use capital I instead of lower-case l for their one.
Capital I, in a serif font made a fine roman numeral 1, much better than it does in this san serif font. I prefer san serif, but will often make terms like WWII New Times Roman in a printed text so as to have proper roman numeral I. back in those mechanical days, before even daisy wheels or IBM print balls, you didn't have a choice of font- you could choose pica or elite. Maybe there were fancy typewriters that did have different fonts.. but if so, i never knew about them.

I have this site http://www.hut.fi/~jkorpela/latin1/master.html bookmarked but eventually I made up a .txt file that covers most of the stuff I need. I have only the characters hex 80 and above. Eventually I'll add those from hex 20 to hex 7F.
