From the start menu, I select run, and type in charmap. This GUI allows you to select your font style and see all the characters. Select the character and it copies to your clipboard, then within the text line, select paste from the ribbon.

You can also use the Alt codes for the more common ones, such as Alt+ 0178 (² , Alt+ 0179 (³, Alt+0216 (Ø, Alt+0176 (°. I keep a little list of the ones that I use frequently next to my desk to remind me.

Oh.. how do you use the alt codes? In 2010 when I press alt + numbers I begin to activate commands on the ribbon.

You need to be in the text editor (don't actually press +).

Works for me in 2010, although at one stage it didn't. After restarting Revit it worked fine. I'm not sure if the update addresses that, but I haven't had any trouble with it lately.
