Symbols as a Part of Screen Name

Seems like there are alot of symbols in the screen names today. Is this because people are using symbols or is there something going on with Mamapedia? How does one make the symbol if one is wanting to respond while using the name?

ETA I remember a way to get symbols without cutting and pasting but I don't remember how to do it. This would be much easier. Does anyone else know this?

It started yesterday - one person did it and it exploded from there....

If you go to Rosebud's or some one else's - I THINK it's Grandma T's profile - you can see their post for the symbols...

personally? I think they are stupid - yes, stupid and make me think we are in High School again.

I find them confusing. Rosebud posted on my question I kept staring at the symbols To figure out what they meant. :(

Now Theresa's name is tastefully done. :) Okay not that Rosebud wasn't but it took a long time to figure out her name. Cute but a bit much.

But Cheryl, I think you will find it useful!

Think of it, instead of writing "President Obama" every time you want to talk about him, you could just put ☭

:-)

ETA: Honestly, though, I've seen people using the fancy symbols all over FB for the past several months, but I was too lazy to figure out how to do it.

Some fonts are symbols rather than letters, such as wingdings and Hoefler Text Ornaments. You can buy these text from places like Apple stores or Fryes) in a boxes (you get something like 100 cool texts), select the text you want, then (I) type abc...z to look at the various symbols and then choose what I want. The boxes of texts are not that expensive. I am sure they have them for PC's too.
