Entering unicode characters directly in an FM 8 document

Hi Framers,
 
I'm tired of pulling my hair out trying to find an answer to this in the FM
8 OLH, so over to you...
 
I want to enter some unicode (but non-ANSI) characters into an English
language document (such as primes and double primes-u2032; and u2033;
respectively-being symbols use in specifying latitude and longitude). I'm
stuffed if I can work out how to do this directly in FM. 
 
There is a long-winded workaround: type the character in MSWord (2032 + ALT
+ x gives the prime, for example), copy it, and then paste it into FM (Paste
Special --> Unicode Text). But surely there is an easier way than this.
Ideas?
 
Cheers
