You typed U+0127, but he probably meant U+210F. Anyway, the answer is to either go the Insert > Symbol route or to type 210F in Word and then press Alt+X, which works since Office XP (released in 2001). Maybe this wasn’t as googlable 10 years ago. An arguably better way nowadays is to install WinCompose.

You are totally right.

We both knew it was \hbar in latex but could not figure out how to get there on Windows. He was collaborating with somebody on a paper and was not used to having to do so with windows/word (he had a RHEL 5 desktop).

He was also 83.
