I'm running Safari 4.0.3/4.0.4 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2. The symbols were from the "show character viewer" from the language button I have next to my clock for swapping keyboard layouts. (Not everyone who uses my computer appreciates Dvorak). Otherwise, in Safari at least you can go Edit→Special Characters...
