The special characters are available to me in a character palette
with MAC Mail. I am not sure what MS or other mail might have let
alone hotmail if you just use it on the Web. Sometimes the
characters seem to make it into plain text and other time not. I
have a global setting on my computer for Canadian English and I am
not sure if that is why I get odd characters (glyphs) sometimes. In
your signature box for example I see

I am not sure how this maps back for you but I get a symbol that

Hi Donna;
There seems to be room for Icelandic speakers.
I find that the vagaries of English et al, can be remedied by
phrasing things directly in J, much like having a piano present can
facilitate a discussion of a musical subject.
One question: how did you get that single symbol for <- , or those
Greek characters from an earlier post?

Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] significant digits
I am trying to learn J terms
If J terms can actually be used to describe J technically why not use
them?
There are not enough forums to have special conversations for native
speakers of APL, C++, Java, Excell Spreadsheet users, Dutch, French,

. . . One problem it deals with is the plethora of related, but
subtly different, uses of traditional terms in math and numerous
programming languages. For example: function, subfunction, operator,
program, routine, and subroutine are all used in slightly different
ways in different programming languages. Rather than inherit this
confusion, J adopts its own terms, and defines them precisely within
its context.

Hello Donna;
Why not use the J term VERB?
I suspect it is a first-language-APL thing. function/verb are
interchangeable to me. To insist on one term over another is a bit
"Academie Française" to me.

Why not...
I'm seeing this is as you saying "this also works" my first
impression was in error. Never mind.
