Math symbols on Kindle fire?

Does anyone with a Kindle Fire HD know how to make special characters when posting to Yahoo Answers? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Update:

Thanks. I have copied and pasted, but if you want to use more than one symbol multiple times each in a post it gets VERY inconvenient. On my iPad I used keyboard shortcuts that did not use the paste buffer. For example, I defined "xint" to insert the integral sign and "sqrt" to insert the radical. I would like a similar lazy way to make my math look nice and professional on the Fire.

    Yahoo Answers only takes "plain text". Any symbols used would need to be copied and pasted from another location that has a listing of those symbols to copy from. There are some websites out there that have them; whether or not Kindle Fire can copy & paste is another issue. And whether they will "translate" correctly from there to here on YA is also a problem, as not all copied symbols do.
