Just a quickie: Sailor’s example of HTML encoding for € got jumped on by some software somewhere. It should read € as he originally typed.
The € symbol exists, as far as I know, only as a unicode entity (no. 8364). Notepad, as supplied on non-NT based versions of Windows (Win 95, 98, ME), doesn’t support Unicode. The symbol displays correctly in Notepad on Win2k or XP.
Armilla, thanks for both posts and the heads up on the code conversion. You are right, I typed & # 8364; (with no spaces) but the board software converted it to the single chr €. You are quite perceptive as I had not noticed.
I would point out that this character is not supported in all fonts. In that table I posted I used courier because it is fixed pitch but € would not display in my browser in courier.
