If you are using Microsoft Word, you'll follow this process. It isn't using the keyboard, but it does give you the symbol.
Insert-Symbol. On the right of the pop-up window is a list of ways to sort the symbols, and choose "Mathematical Operators". It should show up right in the middle area.
A way to get it without doing that is to type "221a" and then hold alt, and press X.

Hey, the EASIEST way to this
hold down alt and then type in 251 (remember don't type from the numbers located above the keyboard, make sure when you type in the numbers you are using the numbers located to the right of the keyboard (the numpad)

see!
Hope that makes things easier for you

Hold Down [Alt] and Type 251
[Alt] [2][5][1]
And you get the following symbol

Alt 251 â
If you search the internet for ASCII codes, you will find many other symbols

You can also take a number (n) to the (1/2) power, it's the same. Ex: n^(1/2)

you don't need to. Just type the abbreviation sqrt(whatever)
So, I could do this:
sqrt(81) = 9
Make sense?
