The easiest way is to use the character map. In Windows, look under: Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Character Map. You'll need to change the font to Terminal. It most likely won't look the same in your text editor, unless you change the font there, too; but when it runs in the command prompt, it should run as Terminal font (assuming you haven't changed that.) There are other ways, if you know them; such as holding down the alt-key and typing a 4-digit number on the keypad, which will enter that unicode character (eg, [alt + 0182] should give you a pilcrow (paragraph) symbol.). But it implies that you know the character code (which Character Map provides in the status bar.) I just copy/paste them. The easiest way is to use the character map. In Windows, look under:

I was wondering how you got the unicode embedded into the cmd line prompt. It'd be a lot easier to read if I could do the same on mine This is really useful to something I’m working on and has helped me a lot!
