Symbol
In general, to find a symbol, open the "Insert Symbol" pane (at the
far right end of the Insert tab, the capital Omega) and look in the dropdown list at the upper right for the Unicode range that probably contains it. Something labeled "Diameter sign," which looks like a Scandinavian crossed o, is in the "Miscellaneous Technical" range, at position 2300. If you simply want to insert that symbol in your text, type "2300" and then Alt-x (hold down the Alt key and type x). (That works for any Unicode character at all, even if you don't have a font installed that can display it.) I set the font to Cambria Math to be sure I'd be able to see the character.
