Apparently great minds do think alike.

I have been having and observing occasional "bounces" of characters in posts, so I have posted to mudcat ALL characters defined in the HTML 4 Specification.

Most of them work okay for me, but a few don't. There have been a lot of threads discussing the issues, but so far as I know I'm the only one AR enough to have tried it so far.

I'm in the process now of putting the results in to tabular form to re-post the result in a new thread. Hopefully, people can then comment on anything that works differently for different browser.

If you want the "real poop" you can consult the W3C Committee HTML 4.01 Specification . If you go down a couple of pages to the table of contents, you can click into the character definitions there.

If you want to see what a character looks like - especially ones that don't work, you can go to Unicode website, or you can go directly to the Online Unicode Handbook.

Although it's not organized yet, you can see my results from postings at and following TESTS in thread HTML test thread 2 - please ignore

I think that - because of the size of my posts there, that thread has gotten sort of clunky. I've had trouble getting it loaded. I would suggest coming back here, or to one of the other HTML Practice threads if you want to comment, rather than adding to that one.
