marcos -

here's your little experiment, entered from the new SI. I'm under the impression that high-order ascii characters look correct when viewed from the same version of SI that they were entered in. Let's see.

ps - diacr¡tico experiment -
  - should be an a accented
‚ - ditto e
¡ - ditto i
¢ - ditto o
£ - ditto u
 - u with umlaut
¤ - n with squiggle on top .. distinct and important letter in espa¤ol!
¨ - upside down question mark
­ - ditto exclamation

P.S. I've been seeing messages twice, just a few times in the last day or two. Is that what mr. mark was talking about? It doesn't happen often, just once in a while.

Oh man oh man ... posting this through that go2net site ... first time since they shut down Classic there months ago ... finally found this post by going to a thread i post on and clicking my bio - no To Me and From Me under Folders!! ... loading so much slower, and the subjectmarks page all wonkey-looking

Aaaaanyway, here's the diacr¡ticos pasted in as they appear on go2net -

ps - diacrítico experiment -
á - should be an a accented
é - ditto e
í - ditto i
ó - ditto o
ú - ditto u
ü - u with umlaut
ñ - n with squiggle on top .. distinct and important letter in español!
? - upside down question mark
¡ - ditto exclamation

Now i'll put them in through go2net to see what they look like in the real thing -

  - a acentado
‚ - e mismo
¡ - i mismo
¢ - o mismo
£ - u mismo
 - u con di‚risis [umlaut auf Deutsch]
¤ - e¤e
¨ - punto interrogante
­ - punto de admiraci¢n
