There is nothing to decipher. If you copy/paste the OP’s text into Word and apply, let’s say, the Verdana font to it, you’ll get this:

In Word 2007, Insert>Symbol>More Symbols>Font = Symbol. When I insert the font, it looks right on the page but it inserts as the current font, for example Times New Roman, instead of Symbol. It's not a problem until I convert to PDF. Times New Roman doesn't always have the right font and it shows as an empty square in the PDF.

Would anyone know how to force Word to insert it as Symbol font instead of TNR? That's the only way to get it to show up right in a PDF. I can change it manually every time but that's getting old.
It sounds like the OP is trying to format ordinary text with the Symbol font as if it were an ordinary font…
