Go to Insert Symbol and browse to your heart's content.
Word supports the full Unicode set, so potentially, depending on the fonts you've chosen to use, there are over a million possible glyphs. Have a look at www.unicode.org for details of how it all works. This has nothing directly to do with Word.
