Select the font called "Wingdings" and about the second row you'll find a selection of simple "pointing fingers." Click on all of the ones you want and click "select." Click "Copy," and then go to the program you want them in and "Paste." Usually moving them all at once into the program where you use them, and then Cut/Copy and Paste the individual ones to the specific locations you want, is easier than moving them into the program one at a time, but take your pick.
Wingdings2 has a similar selection, but of more "modern looking" fingers, so you can take your pick and give the finger in a variety of styles.
There are Unicode characters for some symbols of this kind, but if the ones in CharMap are good for what you want, it's about the easiest place to get them.
Clip-Art collections may also have more varied choices when you can't steal something from the web.
