Missing Unicode Character

Anonymous

I'm trying to insert a warning symbol (exclamation point in a triangle) into a Word document. I found the Unicode character (U+026A0), and the websites I've found say Arial supports this symbol, but when I try to create it in Word I only get an empty box. Is there a way I can load this character and other special Unicode characters as needed?

    I don't believe that even Arial Unicode MS (a "large" Unicode font) includes this character because it doesn't include any symbols whose numbers include more than four digits (the largest is FFFD). Entering either 026A or 26A0 in the Symbol dialog gets Latin Letter Small Capital I (026A). You may be able to find the symbol in a dingbat font. I've already checked Wingdings, Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3, and Webdings and haven't spotted it, but the free Hazard font at http://www.dafont.com/hazard.font does include it.
