>I'm also able to make the with ALT-0163. this probably doesn't warrant much space, so I'll try and keep it brief: the original 7-bit US ASCII code didn't allow much room for expansion so there soon developed several national versions (all these were controlled by the ISO 646 standard); this was very messy and was superceded by the ISO 8859 alphabet soup which is an 8-bit standard in which the original 7-bit ASCII truly was standardized and the various national versions were incorporated in the expanded set; this is now being replaced by so-called Unicode (ISO 10646), which is the de facto HTML standard -- our confusion is that there are many undefined codes, in this case (decimal) 0163 is the official code for the while anything else you may discover is highly untransportable and could change momentarily.

>Because of the alphabetic requirements of the latter.

I remember having a phone number of MAI 3363. It wouldn't have translated so well to a keypad.

Momentarily Does that mean "for a moment"? Would it be worth changing it for a moment?

Another way to get a non-keyboard character is simply to cut-and-paste it from where someone else has used it.
a partial list here, for that purpose:
