Ralph (and anyone else who is curious), Take a look at http://www.unicode.org/charts/ - or - http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/latin1.html#latin1 - or - http://www.w3.org/TR/MathML2/isolat2.html
for all sorts of information on virtually any character, diacritic or symbol (literally) in the world. Unicode is primarily intended to create and facilitate the exchange documents over the Internet and is not necessarily going to enable you to create Word documents or e-mail using extended ascii characters. For that, you can go to http://www.asciitable.com/ - or - http://www.bignosebird.com/ascii.shtml or just do a google search on "extended ascii character chart" and you will find many to choose from. None of them seem too strong on actually giving names to the characters and marks but at least you can see the codes and you can find names for them at most of the unicode sites I listed at the top. Hope my cut and paste below is of some help, though I realize most of them give a description rather than a name.

To round it out, can anyone tell me the names of : <- the double-s character [ß] produced by CTRL + SHIFT + &, then s; 00DF ß LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S = Eszett German uppercase is "SS" in origin a ligature of 017F . and 0073 s . 03B2 ß greek small letter beta <- the little circle [å] produced by CTRL + SHIFT + @, then the letter; 00E5 å LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE ? Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Walloon <- the slash or symbol [Ø] produced by CTRL+ /, then O? 00D8 Ø LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE = LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O SLASH <Also, is there a way to make a makron (dash over a vowel as in [a]), or a <breve (ends-up crescent over a vowel as in [e]), using the keyboard, i.e., <not from INSERT/SYMBOL? _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
