bboyminn:

The Internet is your friend.

ANSI Character Table 
http://www.handheld-basic.com/documentation/text/page_599.html

Use the decimal number for the 'ALT' codes.

Also -

ANSI Symbol Fonts-
http://cloford.com/resources/charcodes/symbols.htm

I only use a few of them, so as I said, I printed them in
a small font and taped it to the edge of my monitor.

Cent  - Alt 0162
Pound - Alt 0163
Euro  - Alt 0128

and if you think you might need it -

Yen   - Alt 0165

The simple programmer's text editor I have is called -

TextPad Ver 4.7.3

http://www.textpad.com/

It is an excellent text editor, and has side tables for
ANSI coded, DOS code (which are similar to ANSI but
slightly different), HTML Character Codes, HTML Tags,
and SMS texting codes (LOL laugh out loud, HAND have a
nice day, etc...)

As to Copyediting falling out of fashion in hard economic
times...REALLY? So, crappy books are going to sell better
than well edited books? I don't think so.
