Those must have come from Andy's keyboard, mine (US utf-8) won't even 
type that one.

However, wee just hit a lick, I just found that wrapping the "4", as in 
("4") works! I'll make it a 6 and see how it looks in a single hbox.  
Too wide yet, but still 2 of them are too small, but 4 works good, and 
room on one line is left for at least 2 more, maybe even 3 more if I can 
figure out what to control with them.

Exactly what I wanted, thanks, Phillip, for calling that typu to my 
attention. Otherwise I would never have tried the (). More evidence that 
my stupidity is advanceing with the years, now 85 of them things, darn 
it. :-(
