Find a Table of Special Characters
Once a week I gather a document from a web page in which it appears that the author/creator uses text composition program and/or operating system in which unorthodox characters stand for special text characters. The 'stand in' characters are visible on the web page.
I have worked out that Ö = … or ellipsis and ñ = 'en dash.' I've tried asking the author and the web master and given up. Does this look familiar to anyone? I've tried several times to construct a Google search but I get all 'false hits.' I'd like a web page that describes the system that generates these characters so that I know what other special characters I might encounter, a stand-in for an 'em dash' for example.
If this is 'way off topic' I'd appreciate someone pointing me to a more appropriate place to ask. For years I used the WOPR forum started by Woody Leonard, but that is now 'subscription only.'
thanks
