You may either use the tags or & # 8482 (™) w/o the spaces. There’re a whole list of codes that work. I forget where exactly I got them. But i was able to download a ‘Help’ menu thingy that has them all. They are HTML entities,whatever that means.

Holy crap it worked!

≠ is a Unicode character, but …
[sup]Oh[/sup] [sub]me[/sub] [sup]oh[/sup] [sub]my[/sub],
it works!

Hmmm. It appears that HTML name codes don’t work (contrary to what is described in Arnold’s link to here.
I can’t use the ALT-nnnn approach because my laptop doesn’t have a separate numeric keypad.
The HTML number codes work though…

This problem began with the latest vB release we got. Arnold’s reference was coded before that, when the character entity references still worked here.

Shucks! I’ll have to fix that page.
By the way, Algernon, most laptops have some keys on the keyboard that work the same as the numeric keypad. Don’t some of the letters on your laptop have little arabic numerals printed in the corner?
Does that mean we can’t use characters like " ≠ " anymore?

Son of a gun. Sure enough. Little blue numerals that I never saw before. :smack:
I imagine if I use them in conjunction with the little blue “fn” key it’ll work. Let’s see: I’ll try the copyright symbol various ways…
by HTML name (which I know doesn’t work): “©” comes out as ©
by HTML number: “©” comes out as ©
by Windows code: “alt+fn+0169” comes out as ©
Cool. Thanks Arnold.
Another change in this version of vB that I noticed is that in the old days I could discover how a post was composed by clicking on the Quote button. Nowdays, the actual coding is still hidden when I click on the Reply button. Even the Preview Post button “destroys” the original coding.
Noooooooo…
Two arrows pointing in opposite directions, intersecting.
how’dya make the not-equal sign?
& # 8 8 0 0 ;
w/o the spaces of course

No, the zig-zag is the result of two pointers (arrowheads) pointing in opposite directions (left & right).
