    You could use the Glyphs panel in photoshop.

    Window>Glyphs

    Then try a font like Lucida Grande.

    Click on your document to create a type layer, then double click on the symbols in the Glyphs panel to insert the characters in your type.

    Windows or Mac?

    Windows Alt codes.  That is you hold down the Alt key and type 0151 which gives you the em dash —

    0176 degrees symbol °

    etc
