Yes and no.  In this case, I'd say no.  It doesn't require any special
sequence of words/letters to get the "eye" symbol, the "heart" symbol,
and the "city" symbol.  If you open a document, change the font to
webdings, then start typing, all N's will be displayed as an "eye".
All Y's will be displayed as a heart.  All C's will be the "city"
symbol.  Nothing special required.  For an easter egg, try this:
In Windows NT4, right-click on the desktop, select properties, change
the screen saver to 3D text, change the text (via the "settings"
button, I believe) to "volcanoes" (spell it correctly, I'm not sure of
my spelling) or to "not evil".  The former will display a bunch of
volcano names when the screensaver runs, the latter will display a
list of people that worked on NT4 ("not evil" is an anagram of "i love
nt").  There's also a mini flight sim easter egg in the 97 version of
Excel.  I don't remember the keystrokes required to get at it,
however.  It's very convoluted, and unlikely people would do it in a
normal set of working operations.
