If you need to use in VBA:
It goes by CHR, Not Char;

Dim MyChar
MyChar = Chr(65) ' Returns A.
MyChar = Chr(97) ' Returns a.
MyChar = Chr(62) ' Returns >.
MyChar = Chr(37) ' Returns %.

If you're using xl2002+, maybe Insert|symbol would help.

Chip Pearson has an addin that may help (if you're using xl2k or lower).
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/download.htm
(look for Symbolizer and make sure you get the correct version)

Or even use Windows own CharMap:
(Windows start button|run|Charmap)

And if you're looking to find out what's already in a cell, Chip Pearson has a
very nice addin that can show you those codes:
