'male' and 'female' symbols

[Tom Hollowell]

Jordi;

I once had the same problem in the WordPerfect realm, and solved it by
entering the symbols in a DOS document, saving, and importing it into the
Windows version.  I was then free to copy and paste the characters.  I'm
sure there is a direct way that I never found. I think WP handles it in
its own character set.
