There appears to be at least one character in the PS Symbol font that is not
mapped onto the keyboard.  I am referring specifically to the left-pointing
subset symbol.  The right-pointing version is there--Option-Space I think.
The character is there alright, the Symbol font palette in MacEqn says so.
So how in the blazes can I get at it?  (I am using MS Word 3.02.)
