Well, for example in Adobe fonts, ASCII #255 is a carot like mark that is used in some eastern European languages and in Semitic language transliterations. There is no keystroke sequence that will enable a Mac to print it, but for example Word allows you to print the character by entering option-command-q. The lower left box which usually displays the page number changes. It is highlighted with the word CODE. By typing 255 and a , the hatcheck is printed to the screen. -- X-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-X X David Baird xdab@midway.uchicago.edu X X University of Chicago d-baird@uchicago.edu X X University Computing Organizations (312) 702-7161 X
