I converted that article and was worried about those APL characters as I worked on it. When I first viewed it the APL characters looked fine on my browser and when I pulled it into the WIKI editor. But I knew that my seeing them correctly did not mean that they were correct for all viewers. After trying to see what was really being sent to my browser and not having much luck I decided that there was not a thing I could do about it. It's good to know that the APL seems to display correctly, for most people anyway. How does WIKI handle APL characters? I never explicitly did anything to get my browser set up for them. So where did they come from?
