May 26, 200619 yr Excellent... now I can post my research directly into the thread, instead of having to link to a pdf created in LaTex! But really... that is cool.
May 26, 200619 yr The annoying thing about these characters is that the number codes only work on the number pad, not the numbers on top of the keyboard. This means I have to hit Fn+NumLock on my laptop, which is a real pain.
May 26, 200619 yr Author If you use nnn; you can use either set of numbers. It's just a shame BBCode doesn't accept the standard HMTL character entities such as ™ or ″.

May 27, 200619 yr So I went to New England Dragway ® recently with my Datsun © Maxima ™... I ran a 17.09 in the ¼ mile and my trap speed was pretty good considering my car is powered by a 2.4 liter inline six based on a low-compression 240Z ¾ motor. The best part was that Action Photography ® got a real cool ¾ shot of me launching the car at like 3500rpm. I'd love to buy a big turbo for the car, like the Porsche-KKK © selling on Ebay from Germany for 140 € , seeme like a better deal than the silly 280Z © /Fairlady ™ spec. Turbo selling out of a Japanese catalog for like 30,000 ¥ .

Turbo selling out of a Japanese catalog for like 30,000 ¥ . did you deliberatly leave out the ;? Huh? How do you put stuff in using an ampersand? Just type it in (e.g. ♣) and the forum software will convert it when you preview or submit your post. the & tells the "agent" you are starting a character reference, the # tells it you are using a numerical reference, the the ; tells it you are closing the character reference and going back to normal text. In a blog you can usually use the standard html reference (♣) and there are also hexadecimal references using the unicode/ISO number (in html ♠). In my first post and to stop the first reference from just displaying ♣ I had to "double code" the references, using & instead of just & so you could see what the code is. You can use Windows' character map, but it's only a partial list (try finding ⚢). You can also check the unicode listings at http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/index.html#links (only displays those your selected font supports) or the full unicode pdf files at http://www.unicode.org/charts/ These include other a wide range of other writing scripts including Gothic, runic, ogham, Linear B and Cherokee, but not new additions such as Phoenician or cunieform.
