Cristy,
    Unicode will bring up a specific character based on whatever the default 
Font is for that application.  If you want access to more that that, Go to 
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map and have 
some fun.  You can change which Font you'r elooking at at the top of the 
window.  Just be aware that not all Fonts can be rendered within every 
program, and that includes email clients.  If you decide to add one of the 
'outside' characters to an email post, it may or may not come through as 
intended.

    I add Character Map to the front of my Start menu by dragging it over to 
the left side at the top in every one of my home installs.  I find I use it 
relatively often.     :-Þ

Peace,
Gman
