  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>
