I think the correct keycode for ? is alt0216.

This question has to do with differentiating 0 with ?.? It happens our Ham radio group and our government issued license is for? W?VFW (VFW post 3115 Amateur Radio Club 1st and oldest VFW post sponsored Ham Radio Club in the USA) Yes, it's a Zero but displayed not to confuse it with an "O". Been that was since dirt. started with telegraph operators to distinguish ZERO from OH.
Since our Yahoo group inception Feb 6, 2012 we have been relegated to use the group name W0VFW as yahoo didn't like ?. Even our license plates have ?.
I am owner of the group on Yahoo and we will be moving to shortly.... Can we call our group W?VFW or will be nothing but trouble. Most hams if they use their call in a email address use 0 and lament they shoul dof used ? if everone knew the magic to make one.
How will handle it?
Quick lesson to type a ? - Hold the Left ALT key and type 0214 on the right keypad..? Some ham redefine their keyboard. so "0" over the "P" is "?" as keyboards have 2 0's.
Advise...?
