Alt+0247 with the numbers on the right hand side of the keyboard.

You can also use a character map which will tell you the keystroke for any character you click on.

EDIT: Character Map is a program that shows you every available character. Here's the Wikipedia link:

You can find the character you're looking for and either copy/paste it, or just find the Alt code and type it like that. Macs have a similar program, but I'm not sure what it's called.
