Weird characters aren't weird, they're just not easy to input with keyboard, unless you know its Alt+xxxx shortcut. If you're on Windows, the easy way is to open Character Map (it's a utility all versions have afaik), then scroll through the list to find what you want to input, and copy it from the field at the bottom. Please note that not all characters can appear in PSO2.
