Many thanks - in the Windows 7 binary installation I find that Control-Alt-Shift-U, then a number, then Return, enters a Unicode character into text. It is not the one I want, which may be due to the font I have selected, but clearly it is the way to go. (What I want is the vulgar fraction 1/2 so I may be asking for trouble).

Another way to do it is to copy the character from some web reference. If you hit http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/bd/index.htm

You can scroll down and look under the 'Java Data' section. That also helps to determine if the font in question is an issue as you no longer have to do special input.
