    They're characters in the "private use area" section of Unicode. So there is no standard symbol at those codepoints in normal English fonts (or any language, for that matter). SE just added them there for use in the game, which is why that section exists in the first place, to stick custom symbols in it. If you look at each box carefully, you'll see it actually has the number for each codepoint inside it. For example the first box is character U+E031 and the next row starts with U+E042.

    Unfortunately it's not as easy to punch those in as it is with extended ASCII (alt+0169 for ©, for example). :P

    It would be nice to be able to easily punch in the HQ symbol. 
