Trent,
I'm not a computer wonk so I'm just using what I learned from someone
else. The 248 (for instance) is simply the ASCII character number for the
degree symbol. There are a bunch more. If you want to see and extensive
list have a look here: <http://www.peak.org/~jeremy/bigfun/html_hex.html>
This is only one list and there are several variations and not all
numbers produce the same characters. For instance according to this site
#248 will produce "Ø". I addition these characters don't always produce
the desired results in all systems, especially our friends in the UK and
other countries. That's why I asked what it looked like on my post.
Cheers,
Harry
