Here is what you should do:

on a laptop, press number lock shown as num lock

press and hold down alt

laptops generally have numbers written beside the letters (i.e. u,i,o,j,k,l,m)

while holding alt (dont let go off alt until you finish writing down the alt code)

type in special code which represents the character

Example: alt+mkm8 (0208) should give you 'Đ'

For other characters go to system tools in accessories and open up character map, or various online lists of special characters. The one by HTML Source (see related link) is useful because it gives a description (example 'superscript two' ²) as well as an HTML code and numeric code. Note using this, the code is &#178, but on the keyboard you would hold down Alt key and type 0178 on the number pad. When you let go of Alt, you get the superscript two ².
