how to get those funny characters...

you probably already know or have access to the standard ascii codes for special characters... but if you want to speed up your typed notes with arrows and things, like these: ↑ ↓ ▼ ♂ ♀ →, etc... i've posted a list of simple ascii codes in the comments.
good luck on the final everyone!
