    Don't know for a fact but I imagine that when you are on the internet with your bb. Its all about the copy and paste. Just a guess.

    you have to copy and paste the symbol to the auto text, so that every time you put that word in the picture comes up. For example if i type "lucks" a picture of a clover will appear.

    There are also some other cool icons that you can do right from your phone..

    Go to your bbm>edit info> then hold down a letter while scrolling to the left with the trackball. for example if you hold down "T" and scroll to the right you will get the Trademark symbol "TM" but it is in lowercase, and is much smaller.. If you hold down the "C" letter and scroll you will get the copyright sight (C with a circle around it)

    Here are instructions of how to do it from the Social Users and PIN sharing forum. I will link a post where ya'll can copy and paste the symbols in a minute.

    I've suggested saving the symbols in a new memo in the Memopad application to start.

    Next, go to the memo and SELECT and COPY a symbol to add to autotext. (You have to add them one at a time). Then, go to OPTIONS then AUTOTEXT. Press the blackberry key and select NEW. In the REPLACE field, type a word to substitute for the symbol. In the WITH field paste the symbol there. What I've done for example is in the REPLACE field, I typed in "bb" in the WITH field, I pasted the blackberry symbol so that in the Messenger, everytime I type BB and press the space key, it turns into the BB symbol. I hope this makes sense.

    Now, you can go to this thread, copy the symbols, and paste them to your Memo Pad. Follow the instructions above for how to use them. And if you see Severe Deceit around, make sure to thank him for posting those.

    Next, go to the memo and SELECT and COPY a symbol to add to autotext. (You have to add them one at a time). Then, go to OPTIONS then AUTOTEXT. Press the blackberry key and select NEW. In the REPLACE field, type a word to substitute for the symbol. In the WITH field paste the symbol there.
    I have tried this & when I am in the autotext new field, I do not get the option to paste in the menu, only to get the symbol chart. Am I missing something? I'm on an 8330.
