None where I'm sitting.  There are rather a lot of ?'s though ... _unless_ you
are using Arial Unicode MS.
 
The point is that not all fonts include all unicode characters / symbols.
And that unless you use the hated HTML format what font your message
is _viewed_ in is determined by the viewer's settings and SW not the poster's.
 
Even having HTMLed this post if you don't have Arial Unicode MS it will be
sheer chance whether the font you are using will have all the characters or
not. 
 
P.S. If you try this _don't_ view the source page of your post or all you
sybols will turn to ? marks.
