For Writer, or Calc, use Insert | Special Characters. It is probably under Basic Latin and probably visible without scrolling, depending on the chosen font. Not all fonts will have the character.

If you use the quid sign more than occasionally, it might be useful to add an entry to Autocorrect - if you use Autocorrect.

More info at https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... utoCorrect and https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... utoCorrect if you are not familiar with Autocorrect; and of course there is the offline HELP - F1.
