Hold Alt while you type 0177 on the Numeric Keypad.

When you've selected it in Insert Symbol, note that at the bottom
there's a "Shortcut" button. Click that, assign whatver key sequence
to it that you want, click Assign and Close, and then you can type it
directly.

Create an autocorrect entry. Type in the character ALT+0177 then create an
autotext entry to replace (say) +- with ±

That should have read "create an autocorrect entry to replace (say) +- with
±" (

Thanks, Graham.
