In insert mode, using control+V followed by "u" ("Unicode") followed
by 0192 gives me the character you show. You can make a digraph, say
something like "f," to make it easier to remember:

:digraph f, 402

(402 is the decimal equivalent of the hexadecimal 0192 that you
want). Then, in running text, you can use control+k followed by the
"f," (no quotes) to get the character.

If you use it more frequently and want something with fewer
characters, you can create a insert-mode mapping something like

:inoremap <f4> <c-v>u0192

letting you use <f4> to input your symbol.

Hope this helps,
