Unless there's a string that resolves to a ninja that I don't know about -- there certainly is a skull and crossbones!

The Internet is all about the booty.
Persnicketally speaking, Unicode has skull and crossbones; HTML uses Unicode.
Thats awesomr
Also useful, in Windows you can hold the Alt key and type the character's altcode number to insert it in any (or most) programs. This doesn't include all unicode characters, but there are a lot of useful ones (e.g., ¶ = Alt+0182, § = Alt+0167).
In Ubuntu linux, holding Ctrl and Shift and typing u + the unicode hex number will do the same thing (Ctrl+Shift + u00b6 = ¶, Ctrl+Shift + u00a7 = §).
And, of course, Ctrl+Shift + u2620 = ☠.

This site is amazing if you need to find odd symbols for the odd website. :)
... all I'm seeing is a little empty square box.
Do I need to enable/disable some special feature?

BSR: it is probably browser/OS dependent. May be a "character encoding" setting in your browser, too. (Firefox setting is at View -> Character Encoding -> Unicode).
Got unicode (UTF-8) - still just a little empty square box. Oh well.

...checked out Wayne's link - one needs a font resident on one's computer that supports the Unicode character. Apparently, the more common fonts out of the hundred or so fonts I've got, don't.
