+ | Hamstercules was the biggest hamster I have ever had or ever seen. I've had lots of hamsters. My daughter picked it out at the pet store. I was like, "Are you sure, honey? It's not as... uh... well... you know... not as cute as the other hamsters." But, no, she was sure, so we took it home. It got twice as big over time, and that was all muscle, not fat. Most hamsters occasionally make faint squeaking sounds. Hamstercules was the only hamster I've ever had that would grunt. And it was fast. It was hard to catch if it got out of the cage. But my daughter got pretty good at catching it. She would pick it up in one hand like a softball, "I got it!" I was terrified of the thing.

Some Useful Unicode Symbols
In Linux you can enter Unicode hex values directly by holding ctrl and shift while typing u followed by the 4 digit hex value of Unicode character. You hold ctrl and shift for the entire sequence. So <ctrl-shift>U221E will produce the infinity sign, ∞.
In Mac OS X to enter Unicode you go to System Preferences | Keyboard | Input Sources. Then click + to add a keyboard input source. Select and add the "Unicode Hex Input". To find this input source use the search box rather than trying to scroll though the lists (If you insist, it is under Other at the very end, after Welsh, and not in alphabetical order). Later you turn on the Unicode input method. Once activated you can type hex input by pressing and holding the Option (alt) key while typing hex values. Note that as of 2016-02-18 Mac OS X does not support hex codes longer than 4 digits. So, unfortunately, you can't enter the perfectly valid and official Unicode Vulcan salute, 🖖'U+1F596, but you can try to get by with ש (Hebrew letter shin, U+05E9).

- Letterlike Symbols
- Mathematical operators and symbols in Unicode Hex I
- Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols
Common characters that people often get wrong.
Some symbols look the same as their counterparts in the Greek alphabet, but these are actually seen as different in Unicode. These do not decompose as equivalent or compatible. For example, if you mean Ohm you should use the Ohm sign, not the Greek Omega. Probably this makes little practical difference in the real world. Any sort of semantic search indexing system probably has special cases for Greek letters used in other contexts. This can affect sorting and lexical indexing, but again, I can't think of any instance where this would actually cause a problem. Some fonts might be complete for some code points in the code space, but not others. I've not seen any that have the Greek letters, but not the Mathematical signs. So really, you want to use the correct symbol just to be correct, smartypants.
- Ω
- Ohm sign, not Greek Omega, Ω. U+2126

- ♳
- plastic code polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE). U+2673
- ♴
- plastic code high density polyethylene (HDPE). U+2674
Some Useless Unicode Symbols
- ;
- Greek Question Mark. U+037E. Although this may be canonically decomposed to a real semicolon (U+003B), this is not required and I am not aware of any IDE text editors that automatically normalize Unicode. The Greek Question mark can really screw up C, C++, Java, and anything else that relies on semicolons for syntax. This may be taken as an invitation to mayhem.
