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.

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.

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 ″.

¿Now why would I want to use those?

Now how about those letter ones for other languages... and anything else?

Huh? How do you put stuff in using an ampersand?

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 ¥ .

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.

it's ¥30.000, anyway, isn't it?

as far as the board softwatre goes you can get the copyright, registered and Trademark signs by doing this:
