How to print Special Characters?

I'm looking for some help in printing some help pamphlets for the people I work with.  What I need is to print the following sentence and have the special characters actually print in place in the line.

Change (Line Break [Shift = Enter}) to (Paragraph End Mark {Enter))

I need it to print the actual Special Characters where the description is in the line.  Don't need the parts in { } just the characters.  I'll be printing a list of the characters and how to create them in a different place in the pamphlet.  I've got all the computers set up to show the special characters in a document so my co-workers will be able to see what I mean.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

The paragraph mark character (called a pilcrow) is easy, because it occurs in every font. To insert one in text, type B6 and press Alt+X. (The B6 is the hexadecimal number equivalent to the ASCII value 182, the character number of the pilcrow.)

The line break character is harder because the exact character isn't available in any font I've seen, but there are very similar characters in several fonts including Arial Unicode MS. To insert one in a document, type 21B5 and press Alt+X.

The results look like this:
