Special Characters (including math symbols)

Characters such as ³ © ® ½ ¾ ± ~ ¢ ² † ‡ × ∠ °F. These are easily copied (and then pasted) from MSWord or WordPerfect.

When using these special characters, there is no need to use superscripts or any special formatting.

(If you are using Dreamweaver you can click Insert|Special Characters.)

Please note that all characters do not copy over correctly from the word processor (in fact the infinity symbol might be turned upright into an 8!). Do check you printout - on multiple computers is best.
