I've been pleasantly surprised by how guessable most of them are. Occasionally I have to dig a bit deeper, but for diacritics, superscripts (using the "^", as well as subscripts using "_"), fractions, and arrows (either a "-" or a "|" followed by a character that looks like the arrow-head "<>v^") are all pretty easy to guess when you understand the patterns. -tkc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
