**Flamsterette\_X** : Well, “Lord” is in the male list, but “Slum Lord” is in the either list. And the HTML code for thorn is just “thorn” or “THORN” with the usual ampersand and semicolon around it. ---

The usual ampersand and semicolon? I don’t get HTML… so can someone explain this to me in simple terms? 🙂 And… I **know** there was a keyboard shortcut for the Þ character alone. I couldn’t have been hallucinating the times that I did use it, after all. So what is that, please? 🙂 F\_X ---

Well, no thanks to **jmonster** … I did find out how to get the Þ character without having to know how do to HTML. (usual ampersand and semicolon? what the heck is that?) For those of you curious… it’s Alt-0222. Or at least, it is on my computer… **Spoz** was testing out the nifty shortcuts humself, and said that he got different characters than mine. So YMMV.

Well, I thought you were asking how to do it in HTML, not just general typing. That’s what the Character Map is for (in Windows). Anyways, in HTML, special characters are marked-up with a special notation. Specifically, it’s an ampersand followed by the character’s code followed by a semicolon. I didn’t actually write it out because I wasn’t sure if the message board software would alter the code or let it through (at which point it would be interpolated by your browser and you would just see the character displayed; not much help there), and I didn’t have time to fight with it. So, here’s how you would actually write it out to make it show up in a web page: & thorn ; (but without the spaces, since it is interpolating) Other characters are similar, eg “\<” and “\>” are displayed with “\<” and “\>”, respectively. Also, you can just use the standard character code, like this: “& #230 ;” (again, without the spaces). And, so you see, that’s what I meant by “the usual ampersand and semicolon”. I apologize if I assumed too much expertise. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/get-ya-new-noble-titles-here/175626.md?page=4)
