S-hacek, along with directional quotation marks, are part of the Windows additions to the Latin-1 character set (ISO 8859-1), so non-Windows systems will not see them correctly. They should be avoided on Web pages and in email. The full list of Windows-specific characters with their Unicode equivalents is: 0x80 0x20AC #EURO SIGN 0x82 0x201A #SINGLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK 0x83 0x0192 #LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK 0x84 0x201E #DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK 0x85 0x2026 #HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS 0x86 0x2020 #DAGGER 0x87 0x2021 #DOUBLE DAGGER 0x88 0x02C6 #MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT 0x89 0x2030 #PER MILLE SIGN 0x8A 0x0160 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x8B 0x2039 #SINGLE LEFT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x8C 0x0152 #LATIN CAPITAL LIGATURE OE 0x8E 0x017D #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x91 0x2018 #LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x92 0x2019 #RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x93 0x201C #LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK 0x94 0x201D #RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK 0x95 0x2022 #BULLET 0x96 0x2013 #EN DASH 0x97 0x2014 #EM DASH 0x98 0x02DC #SMALL TILDE 0x99 0x2122 #TRADE MARK SIGN 0x9A 0x0161 #LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON 0x9B 0x203A #SINGLE RIGHT-POINTING ANGLE QUOTATION MARK 0x9C 0x0153 #LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE 0x9E 0x017E #LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH CARON 0x9F 0x0178 #LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH DIAERESIS Note that CARON is standards-speak for "hacek", but nobody knows why. -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis vom dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
