Adam:

I believe that these "special" character will be with us for a long
while. I suggest that you review the Unicode database for these
characters and my suggestion is to use the code-points (HEX
equivalences) for these characters. For example, 0061 is a small "a",
2022 is a "bullet", 2713 is a "check-mark" and so on. Most language
glyphs of the world are represented in the Unicode database.
