A while back I mentioned that you can use HTML Entities as a quick and creative way to include graphics on your pages.
Today, I found this page which presents a whole bunch of entities I've never seen used before.

These entities may actually serve a useful purpose, too. As you can see here, they show up just fine in Twitter messages:
They also appear to work just fine in Facebook status updates, too.
In a world where every character counts, having access to these symbols may allow you to express a thought that much easier. Not to mention, the unusual appearance of these symbols will no doubt get the attention of your reader. Though, probably best not to go too overboard.
