Sorry to have ignored the earlier part of your previous post, but I assumed that it was the threading that you cared about and not this particular character. I was just trying to save you time and effort. As others have posted, it's a Unicode character. This reference http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~richard/utf-8.cgi is a useful one to bookmark in your browser. Your subject line is quoting the decimal code point in HTML-speak, but you know all this as you posted it in said previous post. > A clever Unicode supplemental character? Plane 1, the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) where it's in the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block. > Does it comply to an RFC or standard? ISO/IEC 10646. > Is it a good notation for the mailing list? > I'd tend to look for someting slimpler. No, particularly in a technical list like this. Most people reading posts as text emails will lack it in their font, so it will probably get displayed as a space, or even something double-width that screws up any intended monospaced layout. But the main point for you, personally, is that your system for sending posts appears to be non-conforming and embeds NULs or 0x80 characters in the text. This mightily screws up some mail readers, so please don't use it. Cheers, David.
