For those like me who avoid the mouse like the plague, the
following will also work on xterms (and all VT100(?)-like
terminals):
echo <CTRL-V><CTRL-O> (that's an o, not a zero)
And if for some reason you want to jump into the alternate
character set ("Amaze your friends! Confound your enemies!"), use:
echo <CTRL-V><CTRL-N>
