I was looking for this too, and found how to create the clover symbol
Go into SystemPreferences->International->KeyboardMenu and enable the
"Symbol" keyboard.
Then the clover is b = option-shift-:
Haven't found the delete or shift symbols though. This is all done
through unicode, and you can access any key through the "Unicode Hex
Input" keyboard. For a table of available keys go to
http://www.unicode.org/charts/
Unfortunately there are a lot of holes. If the character is not found
in the current font it will search for another font that includes it and
use that, but I don't know in what order it goes through the fonts.
This also begs the question if it's possible to get a font that has a
lot of the special math symbols that are missing, and will therefore be
usable for all fonts. The symbol font has a lot of them, but not things
like blackboard bold (as is used in ams-tex), even though the unicode
character set has slots for them.
Hope this helps.
