Shorthand characters

billy the squid

I've noticed that a hack was installed to allow those on the mathmatics forum to use mathmatical symbols. My question is, is there a similar method availible for something like Shorthand?

The writing form is part of a course I am starting, and would also be used in some secretarial work as well. Just wondering if such a thing is actually possible in a message board environment.

The LaTeX hack worked because there was a service out there which converts the LaTeX notation to an image.

If you can find a similar thing for shorthand, let me know and I can see how easy/hard it is to integrate.
