Make sure you have your Num Lock on.
Press "Alt" and use the following codes to enter special characters.
(Use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard for the numbers. The ones over the alphabets won't work.)

Alt+1 = ☺
Alt+2 = ☻
Alt+3 = ♥
Alt+4 = ♦
Alt+5 = ♣
Alt+6 = ♠
Alt+7 = •
Alt+8 = ◘
Alt+9 = ○
Alt+10 = ◙
Alt+11 = ♂
Alt+12 = ♀
(and so on)
