Special characters in ID’s are no longer allowed by Yahoo, and hence only those who registered them in the past before the restriction was in place are able to have these ID’s. Sorry. 🙁

Special characters are not allowed in Yahoo in any country. Sorry. And yes cupcake, you can use them in a nickname, but chimes04 has already stated that he knows this. 🙂
