It's called Character Map on mine (Start->Programs->Accessories->Character
Map).

Has two major advantages over ALT+#.
First (and most obvious) being that you dont have to remember the numbers.
Second less obvious advantage, sometimes you will find that in certain
fonts, the characters can move about a bit. Character Map allows you to
select the font you are using in PaintShop, and will allow you to pick from
the characters in that font set.
