Well, it is also easy to use the Resource Editor to copy these symbols into
another font at an unused character location.  "ASCII" 217 is a good choice
because it can be typed into applications as "Option Shift ~", the upper
left key on the board.

Watch out though.  If you define it in, say, Geneva 12 (replacing the rabbit),
then you will need to place it double sized into Geneva 24 (if it also is in
your system), or else "High Quality" printing will not show the new character.

Once you have modified your system fonts with the Resource Editor, you can of
course save the modified fonts with the Font Mover application.
