Now that you're studying Spanish, be sure to go to Hulu and check out the SNL skit "La Policia Mexicana".

¡Que bueno!

Thanks! :-)

Welcome! (Male answer syndrome, I can't help myself. On the other hand, I now know my next major lobbying effort, I think Unicode needs an asshat symbol. *grin*)

Hey, in this case I was as good as asking the question. You don't have to ding yourself for MAS this time. :-)

And yeah: it does!

I just head straight for the List of XML and HTML character entity references, though you have to dig into general Unicode resources to find things like a check mark (under dingbats).

Ooo, thank you!

Oh nifty -- thanks. Glad the other poster had the check-answer for you -- I went hunting through my fonts (I know that the same alt-sequence produces a check in some fonts and a something-else in others) but hadn't found it.

I have several pages that I use for alt key symbols:

Thanks! I'd found several sources in my brief search, but none of them are particularly comprehensive. These links are good to see.

<Alt>-0191 and <Alt>-0161, respectively. Memorizing that was a sight easier than thrashing round looking for entity charts.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Wow, you must use them a lot more than I do. :-)

I'm in Texas--we have occasion. :)
