One “hidden” utility built into Windows which can actually be quite useful is the Private Character Editor. This tool allows you to create up to 6,400 unique characters for use in your very own font library.
To open it, go to Start > Run and enter: eudcedit
Usage is simple. You basically select a font code you want to apply your new logo/character/etc. to and then click edit. From there you use familiar paint tools to make your new creation which you can later access through the character map. Detailed help is available inside the program.
If all you need is one special character to put in your documents, this might fit the bill.
