First, if you haven't already, you need to turn on the unicode
keypad. It's turned off in Windows by default. Use regedit to find
the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Input Method".
Right-click on it, choose New and then String to create a new
string called "EnableHexNumpad" with a value of "1". (Don't type
the quotes.) REBOOT. Don't forget to reboot!<br>
<br>
Now, you will be able to type unicode characters by holding down
the left-alt key and simultaneously pressing the plus sign on the
keypad, and then (while still holding down the left-alt key) enter
the unicode character. Then release the left-alt key. (Note that
the right-alt key does not work for this.)<br>
<br>
So, for your example you would hold down your Left-Alt key, and
then (simultaneously) on the numeric pad:<br>
press + <br>
press 2<br>
press 0<br>
press 0<br>
press 8<br>
and then release the Alt key. Some Unicode characters have the
hex letters a to f in them. Simply enter them from the main
keyboard (while still holding down the Left-Alt key).<br>
<br>
PLEASE NOTE that the punctuation space that you want to enter will
ONLY appear if the font you are using contains it as a defined
character. (Most fonts do not.) <br>

There's also this, which I haven't tested:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm">http://www.fileformat.info/tool/unicodeinput/index.htm</a><br>
<br>
and this, which I have used a fair amount:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html">http://www.babelstone.co.uk/Software/BabelMap.html</a><br>
<br>
BabelMap is useful because it does show the existence (or not) of
particular glyphs in a font. FM's character palette lies to you, by
substituting from a different font when it encounters glyphs lacking
in the font you're using. And it doesn't bother telling you about
the substitution.<br>
