Hi Chris, When I typed the ASCII 8203 into a new blank email it read as, " mail symbol ." Is that what you hearing when Jaws is reading. I ask this because in your example you used, question mark. So, is Jaws saying, mail symbol or question mark? If you can type the ASCII symbol, you can then copy the symbol, paste it into the Jaws dictionary manager actual word field, then in the replacement word field put a space with the spacebar. At least it is worth a try. If it doesn't work you can go into the dictionary manager and delete the entry.
Hope this works for you. Take care.

Hi. Is it possible to enter the ASCKI character 8 2 zero 3 in the JAWS dictionary somehow? There's this strange character that began appearing in much of the posts all over Facebook, and it only seems to be read allowed by screen-readers, not visually seen. It disrupts the flow of the sentences, sounding something like this: HI, How is everbod question mark y doing? I' question mark m doing fine. It's awful. Since I doubt Facebook will fix whatever they broke last week, especially since they can't see it on the screen, I thought I'd try to take matters into my own hands and see if I can force JAWS to ignore this strange character so JAWS will read each sentence properly like before. So, if it's possible, how do I enter this ASCKI character 8 2 zero 3 in the JAWS dictionary edit field? Thanks. Chris Feist - The one and only!
