Instead of control, try option.

You need to be using the correct font. That's why you're seeing the
place holder characters.
FYI If you are using Word, you can simply use the Symbol command
(available under Insert).
In OS X (which most people are using... don't know if Theresa is yet)
you can use the Character Palette by selecting Special Characters from
the Finder's Edit menu.
From View, All Characters choose the Symbols list. From the Symbols
list, choose the Technical Symbols sub-list. From that list, choose
the relevant symbol and the "Font Variation section of the window will
tell you in what fonts you can find that particular symbol and what it
will look like.
