Mathematica seems to have the most complete library of mathematical typesetting characters anywhere outside of LaTeX, so I'm somewhat surprised that I can find no way to create the closed path integral symbol:

Can this really be, or have I just failed to discover it yet?

In addition to Patrick's answer, it might be helpful to point out that you can enter any LaTeX symbol by pressing Esc, typing the LaTeX code (including backslash) and then pressing Esc again. (So in this case [Esc]\oint[Esc].)
