Re: When you want one odd character....

Siyo!
I just discovered with the university's upgrade to
Netscape 6.2 just in the past week, I'm able to put
the letter in question by doing a simple cut-and-paste
from Word (before the character showed up as a
question mark).  However, I'm not sure how I would
type it using your code, as I don't know what key you
mean by "U".  Also, how do I set the page encoding?
Also, I forget--isn't there a website that gives the
HTML numeric entities for unusual characters?

Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks,
Clint
