Alt and decimal value gives me the arrow too.

I don't know if it will work, but I found that you could input unicode hex code after modifying your registry

reboot
then you can press Alt and "+" on the numpad, then type the unicode hex value 221a and release Alt.

Maybe Cyans atempt will help.
However its Quote Sand that this won't work out of the box.
