Thanks for these Željko,

Both work great in locating and verifying the special character is
there with .span.

Oddly having never used .span before, I'll be using the :class
suggestion to verify the link I have is disabled.  Knowing I can't
currently verify literal link text '\253 Previous' (as it doesn't
exist), for now I'll most likely using something similar to:

    prevlink = browser.span(:class, "disabled prev_page").exists?
      if prevlink == true
         puts "<< Previous link is disabled, this is correct"
      end


In reply to the last part; I will admit I have (probably wrongly)
ignored the IRB tool upto now, so will toy around with that for a
while before troubling you with questions in that direction.
