Try  Alt+0233 for lower case or ALt+0201 for uppercase,

 You could have answered this yourself if you had grabbed a copy of the Extended Character Map that I recommended the other day:

A great little tool for answering this sort of question quickly is the Pricelessware (http://www.pricelesswar.org) recommended utility:

Extended Character Map
(Freeware)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000
Languages: English
Description: Extended Character Map is like the Windows Character Map utility but uses much bigger, easier-to-see characters. The utility is especially useful for viewing the pictures in a symbol or Dingbat font. 
Characters can be seen up to 100pt size. No more squinting at Webding characters trying to figure out "is that a race car or a textile factory?". 

The keystroke name is displayed in the program's status bar. The Decimal/Hex/Oct/Binary values are also displayed. Additionally, you can view the fonts with one or more attributes selected (Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikeout). Using ExtendedCharacterMap, any character or series of characters can be quickly copied to the clipboard.
