Sigh. Didn't work. The symbol that didn't show up was the infinity sign.
For ever.

I typed Alt + Numpad 236. On many editors, this appears as
the infinity sign. However, when you post to the various forums
from those editors (as on Yahoo), what appears on your editor's
screen isn't always what appears on the forum. Interestingly
enough, it works on Facebook, but not here.

Depends too on what character encoding the browser is using.  These days 
it probably should be UTF-8. What happens is some of the extended 
ASCII characters set may trigger it trying to display it as UTF-8 when 
it is just an extended ASCII character.
