Some years ago I made a selection of Unicode characters
I thought I might need. Enjoy!
Getting Unicode characters into your document
======
0. Don't assume everybody's system has all the fonts yours has.
Or mine, for that matter. Mine can't even do all the symbols
I have included here, e.g. u214F "SYMBOL FOR SAMARITAN SOURCE".
BTW on my system viewing this file with "less -r" displays quite
a few characters more than viewing with plain "less".
1. A Unicode character typically is 2 bytes long, but will probably
be entered into your document as UTF-8, an encoding into sequences
of anywhere from 1 to 6 bytes. This document does not go into
the details of that encoding.
2. Many websites. I get my stuff from
<http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block>
3. If your system has a compose key, there probably is a file somewhere
with `Compose` in its name, listing those characters that you can
make and how to make them. On some systems a composed Unicode
character is entered into the document, on others a combination
of characters (see Combining Diacritics, below) that is supposed
to mean the same.
4. Your system may also have a helper app which, if you've read this
far, you probably don't like all that much.
5. If all else fails, all up-to-date systems have a way of entering
the actual four-hexdigit number. The FileFormat site says how to
to it on Windows and in HTML, C, Python etc. On mine (Gnome, i.e.
standard Ubuntu), it is Ctrl-Shift-U (it shows an underlined `u`)
and then either hold Ctrl-Shift in and type the four digits, or
let go and type them in followed by Return. The first method is
nicer if and only if you don't mistype any digits.
6. Here are my favourites. Copy-and-paste them. There's lots more
on the FileFormat site.

NB: u00A0 is a non-breaking space. The first 32 characters of this
block are not shown. They are non-printing characters with names like
"START OF GUARDED AREA", which to my mind suggests that ordinary folk
shouldn't be using them in e-mails.

These symbols are shown applied to the letter `c`. The Unicode symbol in
question cannot be cut-and-pasted, sorry. You type a letter and then enter
the Unicode. Moreover, remark #0 applies even more strongly here.
In theory, any such combination of symbols should, if Unicode defines
and the font allows it, be replaced by a single Unicode symbol.

Sorry, I'm only showing the fullwidth ASCII ones. Until the spammers
catch on, doing this in UTF-8 is a great way to encode your email
address. Here is a Lua translator from standard to wide glyphs,
the latter encoded in UTF-8:
function wide(s)
local function wide(a)
if a<'!' or a>'~' then return a end
if a==' ' then return ' ' end
a = a:byte()+160
if a<256 then return string.char(239,188,a-64) end
return string.char(239,189,a-128)
end
return(s:gsub(".",wide))
