Many of the narrow keyboards have an embedded numeric keypad:
tap a "mode" key, and some of the letter keys turn into keypad keys.

One can also buy standalone numeric keypads that can be placed
out of the way.

The little IBM M4 I'm using now doesn't have a numeric keypad,
and I just use Character Map, cut-n-paste from another document,
or shortcut keys.
