⌥ - Is the Option key, also called Alt.

⇞ - It's called Upwards Arrow with Double Stroke, and usually represents page up. If your keyboard lacks that specific key, doing Fn+↑ does the trick.

Thanks! This really did the trick. – perr0 Nov 8 '12 at 14:48
I can't understand why Apple's keyboards print the command symbol on the Command key, but don't print the option/alt and control symbols on their respective keys. – daGUY Dec 3 '12 at 22:07
