The list can be different for each font. And some fonts contain thousands of
symbols, so you would need tons of paper.
If you need such a list professionally, you might spend some bucks on the
Unicode Standard:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321185781/103-7003750-0594221
You can also find it online, and maybe print out a couple of pages that are of
special interest to you:
http://www.unicode.org/standard/where/
That won't show you the characters from symbol fonts like Wingdings or Symbol
(though those same symbols are often available in large "regular" fonts, too).

Klaus
This is quite tedious for the first symbol font, but for any other, all you
have to do is change the font in the even-numbered columns.

And if you have used a style, you only need to change that.
Below's a macro for creating such a table...
It shows the symbol characters, the corresponding "regular" character, decimal
and hexadecimal code.
You'd need to change the "symbol font" character style to some font (like
Wingdings, Zapf Dingbats, European Pi...).
