how to determine keystroke for a given character in Wingdings font in charmap?

I basically want how to easily determine the keystroke value of a Wingdings character? Looks like a very old version of Charmap used to have this functionality but no longer from what I see in Windows 7 version of the tool:

Solution

press alt and enter numeric code of char. numeric code has to be decimal, not hex. And it has to be done on numpad.

so fo 0x7C enter Alt-124 |
