Title symbols banned on craigslist! Any alternatives?

I noticed last week that symbols are banned from any post titles on Craigslist in my city.

This is very bad news for me because they helped A LOT!

If there are any alternative to getting the title more noticed please let us know!

And yes, I know how to make a good title without symbols. But if you can put in something else that grabs attention as much as those big bold symbols did than a new window will open.

Thanks.

      Symbols tend to look shabby and Craigslist as I'm sure you are aware, have always prided themselves on their aesthetic qualities....

    Yes, the symbols might look shabby but, for those who had experience using them you know they can multiply your response rate 5x or more.

    Thanks.
    Use powerful words instead of symbols, and if you think creatively, you can use letters as symbols
