More about "usual" & "special" characters: There are a lot of symbols available through using the ALT+ method, the thing is that the codes you use depend on your system locale. The symbols shown on this site have nothing to do with my locale. Perhaps the best way to see what's available is to start the Character Map (Windows) application (START > Programs > Accessories > Character Map) and see what's available. Things become a little confused when you go above the 255th character; you may need to experiment, but they are available by using ALT + nnnnn (i.e. a five digit code). For instance, ALT + 12556 = ♀, ALT + 2556 = ³, ALT + 0255 = ÿ and so on.
If you Google "alt key codes", you'll find many other sources. Maurice Howe On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 6:53 PM, Martin Rosenfeld <rosenfel...@ca.rr.com> wrote: > Thanks all who responded.
