Hi Kiesy, What you're looking for is part of Windows.

  1. In the Windows search bar, type character map.
  2. The Character Map app should be the top match. Click on it to open the Character Map.
  3. Select the character you want to use.
  4. Click Select, then click Copy.
  5. To insert the character in Thunderbird, go to Edit > Paste.
