I know that Word Art is a graphic and therefore ignored by DBT and JAWS.

Yes. I suppose I should have said that a special symbols page would
probably be required. In the arrows, you could try a colon instead of a
hyphen.
The checkbox is particularly useful because of its exact similarity to
the print checkmark. All of the symbols I chose are useful because they
can be integrated into documents without comprimsing the interpoint.
If anyone else has discovered Braille symbol combos that replicate print
images I'd like to hear about them.
in the sighted world, there is something called ASCIIART. The
sighted can type various combinations of print letters on a page in
particular positions and draw pictures. I imagine they alter the spacing
in thwir word processors so that the letters are closer together then
normal and they probably include those macrons and Greek letter shapes
to add spice. Using letters, numbers and symbols to create other shapes
gives new meaning to the phrase "thinking out of the box".
