Some of the characters referred to are hard to find, but in the Symbol font. They
are characters that are normally "overstrikes" on the Mac keyboard. Option-n
shift-O and option-n shift-A and option-<space> give you 3 of the subset-type
operations. Use the keycaps DA plus knowledge of what are valid "overstrike"
combinations in other fonts to experiment further.
