Special Mac characters

There are several "special" characters commonly used when dealing with Mac systems. The most obvious is the "cloverleaf" character, "⌘", which is used for keyboard shortcuts (such as "⌘Q" to quit an application.

This is a list of them, along with the codes needed to use them in web pages (like I did above.)
