Ever want to use a symbol but don't know how, or tired of those alt keypad patterns and how unreliable they can be? Well, there are now two new BBCodes for all of your special character needs.
Introducing: HTML Symbol BBCode!
[symbol] will allow you to enter HTML 4 or 5 Entity Names to put a special character into your post.

[size=300][symbol]infin[/symbol][symbolhash]x262e[/symbolhash][symbolhash]9829[/symbolhash][/size]
