Default I need the symbols for make and female. Word 2003

I have tried to look through every logical font based symbol set for these
two symbols but I can't find them. When I do a search I only get text on how
to add a symbol or how to locate a symbol in a document; how can I locate a
symbol in a font set by name?

For instance, suppose I did not know where the degree symbol was How would I
find it?

If anyone knows which font set (if any) has the circle with arros pointing
in or out for male of femal could you please reply here.
And if anyone knows how to locate a symbol in a font set by name

ie Ampersand. fraction. Male, Female, degree, happy face what ever!!!
Please reply
Thanks
Leah

If you need to look up characters a lot, it might pay off to save the file
below on your computer:
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/5.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt

Then you can search the text file any time you're looking for some
character.
Say you search for "male", you'll see

2642 MALE SIGN
= Mars

Type 2642 into your document, then use Alt+X (ToggleCharacterCode), and
presto, you should have the character in your document.

If you need some character often, you might set up AutoCorrect entries, say
#male# for the male sign.

Regards,
Klaus
