Where can I get the symbol for "flat" in music notation

I want to revise some music notation into a shorter form so that instead of
printing say "B flat" just the "B" and the symbol for flat in music that
looks like a lower case "b" except specially shaped. If you've seen any
piano or singing music you'll know what I mean. I need it to use in MS Word.

Oddly, this is not in the standard character set (among Letterlike Symbols)
nor in the Symbols font, but you will find flat, natural, and sharp symbols
at 266D, 266E, and 266F (in the Miscellaneous Dingbats character set) in
Arial Unicode MS and Lucida Sans Unicode. These fonts are not installed by
default, so you may have to do a "Change" install of Office to install them.
