A. These unique characters come from a program on all Windows operating systems [as far back as 3.1 to what I know of [Windows 95?]. To see this complete list of 224 characters, many of which you might be familiar with, click on Start, then run. Type in “charmap.exe” and hit enter [or click okay]. That’s it! Select any font you want that’s in your system and the extra characters are displayed. Just left-click on the character you want, click select, go up into the text area, highlight the characters and click “copy”. Paste it on the text editor that you wish to use the special character on, including Internet Explorer in a text field.
