Copy the symbols and paste them into notepad.  They might appear there if they are unicode characters.

Messenger Plus! Live offers a font override feature, that allows you to set a custom font for your contacts. You can only override the font for all contacts, however.

To override your contacts' font:

Messenger Plus! Live Preferences -> Conversations tab -> Formatting -> Recieved messages font
