you mean ± ?

hold down alt, and then press 0177 on the numeric pad (with number lock on). Alt-0177

Also,
you can go start->run and then type charmap

That program will let you copy the character to the clipboard, so that you can paste it in another window

To get the target of the charater map do the following. Start, Programs, Accessories, Right Click Character Map. There you should see the target. Now go about making a shortcut to the desktop do the following. Highlight where it says ex:%SystemRoot%\System32\charmap.exe, right click and copy.

1-Right click on desktop
2-New
3-Shortcut
4-Windows pop up and in that space your target should look like this %SystemRoot%\System32\charmap.exe
5-next window that pops up will want you to name it type in Chracter Map.
