the symbol font is a dirty hack from the pre unicode world

basically it puts special charachtors in non standard places in a special font

but this means you can only use the things from it in tools that support chosing a font

otherwise as noticed you just get the correstponding carachtor from a normal font.

does the windows 98 version of charachtor map have a charset settting? (you may need to click on an advanced button) and if so does it list unicode?

you might also try copying charmap.exe from a more ercent version of windows though that may not work.
