[comp.windows.ms] Dingbats

I spent a couple of hours trying different approaches, and I can't
figure out how to put a Dingbat with character code 225 (decimal) into
a Write document.

Among other things, I learned that, when Write imports a text file, it
does random mapping of bytes whose high bit is set.

I know how to insert such a character in Word for Windows, but I'm
working on a machine that doesn't have that software.

Holding down <ALT> while keying a decimal number does nothing beyond
beeping for each keystroke.  Preceding the number with a zero doesn't
help.

Suggestions?
