Errm, having symbols that you can't actually type on your keyboard is irritating when you see them ingame. The rule states no random symbols, which would to me be //></+LOL+\><\\r something ridiculous like that. If you were going to use oriental characters or other symbols for a good reason it shouldn't be in violation of the rules.
Although I'm afraid I can't help with getting them ingame.

For the record, they are not allowed because flhook has a hard time with them. Basically, its a royal pain to do something if your character needs to be edited, and its also very hard to address someone ingame. "Hey you squiggly named guy" is so much less effective than "Hey Larry".
For your server you could use a program like Swapkeys to remap keys to different symbols.
I used to use it to help me kick troublesome players from a server I used to admin

Dave: I feel like standing in the middle of the beach stripping down naked to put on a hula skirt playing pan pipes whilst I watch a pixie try to make love to a cow and have the evil sock goblins chase the 5 penguins of the Apocalypse across Timbuktu all whist my wife Sammie drinks vodka and red bull served by the rich penguins in the sun.
