Like this:  
[FONT=wingdings]A[font]  
Except with the / at the end of font.  
Works for all numbers and letters.

I would’ve told you which letter specifically corresponds to the bomb and the thumbs down, but that thread is closed and therefore I cannot quote to see.

I just realized, I think those icons you wish to have are webdings.  
So it would be

I think.
