Unable To Create Special Characters

With my new Inspiron 1300, I am not able to create special characters.  I've only tried one.. one that I've used often on my old computer.. but, can't do it with my new laptop.. hopefully, someone has the answer.
 
For instance.. in recipes, I frequently use the degree character.. the little "o"  superscript to the temperature.  Still using Windows XP, as with my old computer.. I'd hit ALT 167 and it would put the degree character in place..
 
HELP..
 
Thanks, Bill

ALT-00186 is º symbol too, here in the forum and in most applications, though it's a slighltly different font than ALT-167 using Word 2003.
ALT-00186, ALT-167, ALT-248, in order:

The Studio 1558 does not come with a numeric keypad! (like the inspiron 1420 or others). I can't find a way to enter the extended ASCII codes.

No Events found!
