Math operators

Is the multiplication sign in my sig the same thing as the Unicode multiplication sign? I mean, what I get when I type "Kakeru" into my word processor?

$B!!!!$i$s$^(B $B!z$8$e$&$$$C$A$c$s!z(B
$B!!!_$"$+$M(B
$B!<!<!<!<!<(B PTKA IZGT F SFNNGYGB ZRMSFTB WM
$B!!$"$^$s$1(B NFEGT FM MGYWPRMKA FM F SFNNGYGB IWOG
$B$M$1$"$:!!(B IWKK QGT FT IPQGT ZFXG GHRFK YWJZNM.
$B$i$s$^!!!!(B
$B!<!<!<!<!<(B
$B$$$$$J$:$1(B
