On my ThinkPad under FC6, I can just type ¢ By selecting Menu, Character
Map, View, by Unicode Block, Latin-1, finding the character, clicking
Copy, clicking back into the message, selecting Paste.

How hard could it be?

I'll bet there's an easier way... time to read the rtfm....

X and GNOME makes it pretty easy. Install the US English-International
keyboard layout and specify the third modifier key - right control works
pretty well for me. Cents is ¢ -
shift-modifier C, ¢. There's my two cents. As a benefit, I get
registration marks and a few other useful characters, like copyright and
euros. On the downside, it changes the single-quote to an apostrophe
character, which just won't do, since I'm coding all day long, so I'll
keep both keyboard layouts around and switch them with the GNOME panel
Keyboard Indicator....
