NOTE: I do not use AOL 6.0 or AOL 7.0, so there won't be
as much individualtricks for AOL 6.0/7.0. If you have any, you would
be helping me out a lot.

I saw this method on another site. Except this method you hold down ALT and then type the CHR code. This works on all AOLs I think.
This table shows 'allowed' characters in Green and 'illegal' characters in Gray.
***NOTE: Using illegal characters will erase the field the character is used in, produce junk, or prevent you from updating your profile altogether. To put a character in your profile, hold down the ALT key, type the corresponding 4-digit keycode for the character, and let go of the ALT key. You must type the keycode on the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard.***
