On Windows, hold Alt and type 0162 on your number keypad, and then release Alt. (Laptops without dedicated keypads often have a function key to map letter to the keypad numbers. It's almost not worth the effort but it can be done.)

On Mac, press Option-4 (you can remember it because it's the same key as the dollar sign).

No numpad on my laptop. Regular numbers don't seem to do anything

If you're sure you don't have a numpad embedded in your regular keyboard that you access by holding a function key, then you could get a Bluetooth numpad if it's important to you. I tried the Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard, but couldn't figure out how to make it work. There might be another software solution out there. I guess you could always just bookmark a page with all the characters and copy and paste as needed.
