An alternative is to use the my.symbols function from the TeachingDemos package (improvements are welcome).

I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and I've tried various setlocale options with no success (the Murrell/Ripley examples (Rnews 6/2) do work of course ... so I feel I should be able to do this myself, but after several hours it is time to ask for help). I understand from Google results that users on Mac OS and Linux aren't facing this problem ...
