Default Inserting unicode characters that don't exist in MS Word

Hello,
I'm trying to insert the Unicode Character «₵» into MS Word. It is the currency symbol for at least three countries (Costa Rica, El Salvador and Ghana). This symbol «₵» is the one recommended by the Royal Spanish Academy; not the italic slashed «₡» that shows up on Wikipedia.


The unicode for this character (₵) is 20B5. However when I type 20B5 + Alt x, I get just a square. If I get a square, is it because MS Word does not recognize the unicode character? If that is the case, is there another way of going around it?

By the way, I'm using the program «Unicodeinput.exe», MS Word 2003 and Windows XP



-------------------------------------------------------

P.S. I've had this same problem with some other symbols that don't show up for some reason. Even while knowing the unicode, you only get a square sometimes.
