The first thing to realise is that what you see in this table is 
font-dependent: you will find more possibilities in some fonts than 
others. On my Windows system, for example, I find the DejaVu fonts 
include more characters than most.

Try these Unicode characters:
21A9: Leftwards arrow with hook
21B2: Downwards arrow with tip leftwards
21B5: Downwards arrow with corner leftwards
2936: Arrow pointing downwards then curving leftwards
2938: Right-side arc clockwise arrow

Note that you need to pay attention to whether any such characters 
will be rendered properly in a word processor document on any other 
system, no matter how similar. You may have more success by exporting 
your document as PDF and distributing that.

I trust this helps.
