Full Version: Character test ™
™ is the HTML version of ™ the trademark character.
Looks like the board doesn't do ampersanded characters at all.

But in both your original post and Jeff G.'s post, I see the ™ mark corectly superscripted.
How did you do that? ANSWER, Place TM in parentheses.
Perhaps it is a character set I have on this computer or an IE "implementation" of "what should be".

<g>It could be a forum thing, not necessarily a browser thing. (i.e., the forum interprets the ( tm ) as TM.
(noticing while I type this that in your quoted message, it shows up as ( tm ).
/tm/ in parentheses WAS what I typed - I wanted to indicate what I was trying to do with ™.
Is there a list of such characters anywhere? Parenthetized TM doesn't show up in the Smilies list.
I wonder if © will be the copywrite symbol ...
Edit: Yes, it is.

...Here's an excerpt from Microsoft Word Help:
CODE
Automatically insert an arrow, face, or other symbol
When AutoCorrect is turned on, you can automatically insert symbols that are included in the built-in list of AutoCorrect entries— for example, arrows and faces. Type a predefined AutoCorrect name in the following list and watch Microsoft Word automatically replace it with the appropriate symbol. For example, type --> to insert <right arrow>.
Type To insert
(c) <copyright symbol>
(r) <registered symbol>
(tm) <trademark symbol>
... <can't tell>
:) or :-) <smiley face>
:| or :-| <straight face>
:( or :-( <unhappy face>
--> <right arrow>
<-- <left arrow>
<== <bold left arrow>
<=> <double-headed arrow>
==> <bold right arrow>

...Let's see which others (besides copyright and trademark) work here:
- ( r ): ®
- . . .: ...
- : ):
- : |: :|
- : (:
- - - >: -->
- < - -: <--
- < = =: <==
- < = >: <=>
- = = >: ==>

Looks like registered, smiley face and sad face work with Mozilla Firefox© 1.0.3.
Same are seen in IE6SP1
You typed:
™ is the HTML version of ( TM) the trademark character. (no space)
It's interesting if you peek at the source. IE shows:
™ is the HTML version of ™ the trademark character.
and the source shows:
&trade; is the HTML version of & #153; the trademark character. (no space)
Using Lynx, the page shows
™ is the HTML version of ( TM) the trademark character. (no space)
but the source shows:
&trade; is the HTML version of & #153; the trademark character. (no space)
Seems like the forum is taking the liberty of replacing your text with the ALT-codes, and is then sending this to your browser.
Note that if you try to do a quoted reply of that first post, it shows the text as he typed it.
(Had to edit this, forgot to put spaces in the & #153; 's. when i went to edit them, they were in the text box as ( TM) . Me thinks it's the forum doing the mods, and browsers just display the ALT-codes as they can.)

I'm sure it's the forum - my experience with other boards got me to wondering about how this board worked with special characters.
IPB Help should have a list (though it sounds like they don't). Does anyone here have one? It would probably require access to the forum software source code.
