You'd think I would have learned the keyboard shortcut by now, but no, I'm just really fast at opening the Character Map and copying it manually. I've found a number of useful symbols to add to my random comments & SMS messages in there. I'm just a regular μblogger, truly.

There are more, but I really need sleep more than I need to find every horizontal line in all of Unicode.
