Exotic character

[Mike Rotch]

How do you insert unusual characters into text (eg. characters found in Word, like sigma, square root sign)

Also, how do you super- or subscript text when posting?

Thanks

On the "unusual characters", you're probably best off using the Character Map, which is a part of your operating system. Find the character(s) you want in Character Map, then copy them to the clipboard and paste them into your post.

Character Map = Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools.

Or similar.

BTW, just to note that for "true" web-compatibility, you can use Unicode or hexadecimal (the former a bit easier to remember). For example, Ω turns into: Ω

π?
