64728 2002-07-24 05:18:00 what i meant to type is if i go to start > progs > etc i don't have character map on my 98SE machine.

What is the name of the program this shortcut is supposed to take me to?
Where else might i find a character map?

64729 2002-07-24 05:19:00 Another thought Chris - if you still can't find character map you may have to install it from your Win CD with Add/Remove Programs. It may not have been installed by default. Susan B (19)
64730 2002-07-24 05:22:00 Thanks susan for answering part 2 of my question before i even posted it!

could you tell me where the shortcut points to, then i could create a shortcut of my own?

64732 2002-07-24 05:25:00 In the Windows folder it's charmap.exe Susan B (19)
64733 2002-07-24 05:34:00 Not in my windows folder, or anyother for that matter!
Looks like you're right, i might have to find where i hid the windows CD and install the prog from that.

64734 2002-07-24 05:49:00 ahhh much better......
thanks all for your help,
All i asked for was how to type a "©", and now i got a full map, AND a web resourse to make sure characters survive html
seems that "©" survives in both opera and IE though,

64735 2002-07-24 06:00:00 I just always use [WINKEY]+[R] and then type charmap -=JM=- (16)
64736 2002-07-24 06:49:00 Another thing I have learned. Truly amazing

Am running Windows 98SE and have often wondered what that Character Map was all about and now I even know how to use it!!!!!!

This really is a fantastic place to find answers to all those queries.

Have a good evening

I don't know what browsers can't display character symbols but I got my hand smacked last year for not using the code for quote symbols, ie " things and for the copyright symbol.

It might be Netscape that can't display them, I'm not sure. Or it might be the older versions of all the browsers, which some people still use. It's just "good manners" to use the codes, apparently.
