upside-down exclamation
c with a line through it

That's the sign for cent (a penny), isn't it?

That's my 2¢.

british pound
universal currency

two pipes stacked vertically
legal symbol for section

A c in parentheses, I don't see why that needs special characters when ASCII will do the same.

I like the © and ® alternatives to the above list. But it always takes too long to find all the characters I want very infrequently, so I collected them all into a file for easy pickings. I don't even use all of them, but want to have them available:

Even though this selection is much smaller than the Character Map program, I tried to do some logical groupings to make it easier to find things within this much smaller group. I don't think to use them sometimes when I could. Just now, I see that I have radio buttons and checkboxes that I had forgotten were in there. I could have used those just a few days ago in another email. :(

I think I went thru the entire Character Map program listing of characters and snatched every one that looked like it might be of interest to me. I put them all in a file. I made a tiny script to call the file. Then I placed an icon on my launch bar (where it would always be visible) to call the script. I have it pop up in a terminal window, and the script keeps it open for 60 seconds. I just cut and paste.

less-than less-than

...and so on.  Looks like it all came through correctly here.

P.S. I didn't receive this email as UTF-8, but at least one of the characters in my response is tripping tBird to prompt me to send in UTF-8 (which I will).

If the Big Bang is supposed to be cyclical (explode, decelerate, stop, fall, accelerate, compact, explode, decelerate, stop, fall, accelerate, compact, etc., ad infinitum), why does there seem to be evidence that the current expansion is *accelerating*?
