special chars in gedit?

[Dave Stevens]

I need to use my notebook keyboard to insert a divide symbol, the kind  
with two dots and a horizontal line, it's ascii character 43 decimal.  
I installed gedit-plugins and character table is enabled in  
preferences but I don't see anywhere in the gedit screen to get into  
the table to select characters. Ideas?
