Symbol font has what you want. Pull up your Character map. It's marked
character code 0xB8. I wish I could tell you how to type that but I can't.
If it were me, I'd copy and paste it in.

my mum is a primary school teacher.. she wants to use microsoft word to
create a list of simple sums for her class... like ' 16 shared by 4=
four'
. but we can't find a mathematical divide symbol, even in 'symbols'.....
only
these ones are close, and they appear on the keyboard anyway!.....
: - + = /....
we need one of the standard ones with the horizontal stripe and a dot both
top and bottom....
any help would be really greatfully received... something easy would also
be
good as she's not very computer literate!
thanks! :-)

With Symbol selected as the typeface, use Alt-0184.
