My friend wants to use ∞ but she is working on a laptop. She can't just copy and paste (don't ask me why...) and she can't use a character map (again, don't ask me why...)
Help is appreciated!

To do ∞, you need ALT-236.
On the laptop, first you have to activate the numeric keypad. Usually that's done by Shift-NumLk.
To get the 236, since there is no dedicated numeric keypad on a laptop, you have to use substitute keys as follows:
0 is the M key
1 is J
2 is K
3 is L
4 is U
5 is I
6 is O
7 is 7
8 is 8
9 is 9
If you look at the keys above they are arranged approximately like a numeric keypad. Sometimes laptop keys have an extra key label showing this numeric keypad.
So to get ∞, first you do Shift-NumLk, then ALT-KLO (hold the ALT key while you type KLO)

Hi. The symbol â is not in the character map (don't ask me why, it should be. But I think it can be added using the OBJ at the end of the list.
Edit. Tried it with no luck, sorry. â

If you install free OpenOffice software, it includes a math writer, where you can create all kind of mathematical symbols and equations

Couldn't have figured it out without HDN's answer. Man, you ROCK!
