• Tab: Insert
• Command group: Symbols
• Icon: Symbol or More Symbols depending on your version of Word

Once you click on the Symbols command group, you will see an option for Symbol. Clicking on this will either let you choose from a list of commonly used symbols or give you the option to see More Symbols. Selecting More Symbols will open a dialog box where you can select from various symbols and special characters.

(If the window is too narrow, you see the Symbols button, from which you can choose Equation or Symbol.) Click the Symbol button see some popular or recently used symbols. Choose a symbol from the menu to insert the special symbol directly into your text.
