For example:
ほし → 星
Cool right? But there's not just kanji hidden in the depths of the IME - there are other fun symbols.
ー＞ 「→、⇒」 Cool arrows.
ほし → 「★、☆」 A few different stars.
おす → 「♂」 Female symbol.
めす → 「♀」 Male symbol.
おんぷ →「♪」 And a musical note!
ゆー → 「Ю、ю」I have no idea.
から → 「～」 the from to sign
かっこ → 「〔〕、<>、 《》、 【】」 and various other bracket pairs
きごう → 「゛、゜、〇、´、＇、＄、ヽ、ヾ、ヽ、к、з、㊥、」 and lots and lots of other symbols ヾ（〇＿〇）
ろしあ → 「д、ф 。。。」 the Russian alphabet
[] → 「「」、『』、【】」 all the various brackets
ばつ → 「×」 small cross
こめじるし → 「※」 super cross yay
I think there's also a way to 'extend' the IME but I don't know how to yet :(

haha, I was just playing with this. If you go into the dictionaries for Windows IME (properties->dictionaries), you can enable the symbols dictionary. Then just start typing in words that you think might have symbols!
はーと： ♡♥❧ and more
にこにこ： ☺☻
Sometimes it isn't obvious, even if you already know the symbol (☂ is given by あめ, not かさ, and I still can't figure out the trigger for the umbrella with raindrops; ☃ is ゆき).
Also, the "bias for speech" setting adds emoticons to the list, so にこにこ will give you a million choices like (^_^)(^o^)／(^ム^), ねこ will give you (=^・^=) and =^_^=, and かお gets you the full list like きごう does for symbols.
