In addition to Harold's links and suggestions, there is a site with complete instructions for entering any character in any text editor on any operating system. The site was designed for linguists who use the International Phonetic Alphabet, but it also has information for other special characters. It is an extensive site which explains the subject thoroughly, including all the optional ways of using special characters: http://www.ipa4linguists.pbwiki.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
