Unicode has many multiplication signs, e.g., U+00D7, U+00B7, U+2022,
U+2219, U+2299, U+22A0, U+22C6, etc. In this spirit, you can probably
include U+2605 ($B!z(J)

Is the multiplication sign in my sig the same thing as the Unicode
multiplication sign? I mean, what I get when I type "Kakeru" into my
word processor?
