Useful Unicode Characters for Twitter

These useful characters work in most browsers, including Internet Explorer:

• ‣ … † ‡ ※ ‼ ‽ ⁂ ☻ ☺ ☼ ♀ ♂ © ® ™ ∞ ≠ ♠ ♣ ♥ ♦ ♪ ♫ ▬ ▲ ► ◄ ▼ ¶ 〰 —

The next ones are cool, but alas they do not work in Internet Explorer:

➨ ✄ ✕ ✉ ➊ ➋ ➌ ☀ ☁ ☂ ★ ☆ ☑ ☒ ☚ ☛ ☝ ☟ ☢ ☣ ☧ ☨ ☹ ☾ ☽ ✠ ☊ ♒ ♔ ♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙ ♚ ♛ ♜ ♝ ♞ ♟ ♢ △ ◉ ✔ ✘ ✖ ✚ ✱ ❤ ❦ ❧ ❢ ❡ ❛ ❜ ❝ ❞ ⍨ ⍩ ⍢ ⍣ ⍤ ⍥ ✈ ⋘ ⋙ ∎

I’m a fan of POSTAL MARK FACE (U+3020—see below). Thankfully Microsoft had the good sense to support POSTAL MARK FACE in IE.

  1. I love ‽ — the interrobang. It was intended to replace the combination of ?! but I don't think anyone uses it.
