Which reminds me, I still have to write that Win32 tray applet that provides a drop-down window for copying characters to the clipboard. Except in my case all I usually want is the ellipses character. It looks a lot nicer in a menu than three periods, but then I'm weird about that sort of thing.

I really have to move my personal stuff over to adamv.com and "business up" flangy.com. And of course validate the HTML/CSS on both sites.

I have a list of special characters for cut/paste or for &ed codes as well. Like my little snowman. This works with Mozilla (1.7.3) and the unicode truetype fonts loaded. IE won't show them all. Which is kinda of... what's the point then MS?

That snowman is so cute!

Is your cut and paste list online?

Also, some of Unicode is funky -- I'm primarily referring to the fonts that are used. For instance, all the exponents don't look the same (⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹) (at least in Firefox). They're taken from different ranges in Unicode, and I presume have different source fonts or something. Also, the modal logic operators, box and diamond (□◇) aren't the same size in Firefox, though they are in IE.

Wow. I thought I put that URL in there. My geek license has been revoked! :-P

There's my specials, which you can either cut/paste, or use the HTML references.

Now, to preview and make sure that I have the URL where I want it!

I made something similar some time ago: 3 sidebars for Opera (or Mozilla) Unicode Charts with hexadecimal and decimal reference numbers.

Link has moved to a more permanent location if/when the old location finally dies.
