Yes! Let me add my “Thanks” Laurens!As you can see I use the Ø char. frequently. Ham radio operators use that to distinguish the zero from a cap. o I keep a couple of the keyboard codes written on the bottom of my keyboard for quick access. It would be nice if the valuable tools you’ve provided could be put in a ‘printable’ form, perhaps in columns on a single sheet, front & back. Thanks again Laurens and Merry Christmas 2011 (or happy Hanukkah. as the case may be.) *<:-{ <= that's a Santa.

Floyd.

Thanks! It is apparently also called the triple-dot or suspension point. There is an interesting Wikipedia page on it.

Tilde is used in Spanish for marking the ‘en-yay’ character as used in ‘señor’. ‘Say-nyor’.

Not same as ‘n’. For example, ‘mañana’ (tomorrow) uses both ‘n’ forms.

Waoh, this is so helpful. I had assumed a lot didnt know what some of these signs mean. However, could you help tell me what the sign ’tilde’ means, I have seen it used seeverally.

Thanks/Janet
