For what it's worth, if you're using many standard Windows text editors (like Notepad), you can type these "un-typable" characters by holding down the Alt key and entering their numeric code with a zero before it. For example, to type the © character, hold down the Alt key and enter 0169 on the numeric keypad, then release the Alt key.
