I'd promised a link to a utility that does for Windows what the calculator seems to do for OS X. Conal Tuohy wrote this for me last year. It is a superb program: http://www.nzetc.org/downloads/find-glyph.zip. This can be supplemented with character agent: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_fonts.html#agent. A useful page full of utilities is http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/utilities_fonts.html.
Just not to leave those running linux out, they may be interested in gnome's 'gucharmap'. (If running debian unstable: just 'apt-get install gucharmap' to get it and install it). Nice graphic display, browsing, searching, etc.
The description is as follows: Unicode character picker and font browser. This program allows you to browse through all the available Unicode characters and categories for the installed fonts, and to examine their detailed properties. It is an easy way to find the character you might only know by its Unicode name or code point.
