Yes. As far as I'm aware, a Mac is necessary, which is why I can usually post them by my name, but not now, because I'm currently using an MSI laptop, as I sometimees do, instead of my usual Mac. However, I'll tell you how to post symbols in case you ever do use a Mac. You click 'Edit,' then 'Special Characters,' then a category, then a symbol, then where you want to put it in your name or post.

Thanks Ima!

I have a Dell so I probably won't be doing that for a while. But, if I ever happen to be on a Mac I'll use it. Thanks a bunch!

Claire, first, you've got to have a separate keyboard, one with the separate number area (well, I'm sure there's a way you can do it without a separate keyboard, but I dunno how to do it that way) then all you need to do is hold the "alt" button and type in numbers in the separate number box. I hope this makes sense!:)
