Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 25 Aug 05 - 07:04 AM Just experimenting.... ALT + 1 thru 20 gave me these... ☺ ☻ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ • ◘ ○ ◙ ♂ ♀ ♪ ♫ ☼ ► ◄ ↕ ‼ ¶ I've actually used ALT + 3 digit numbers for other characters and accented letters... ALT 155 = ¢ ALT 156 = £ ALT 171 = ½ ALT 130 = é (also ALT 1410 = é) This is fun! but what do I know, computerphobic as I am. LOL These "puzzles" are quite interesting...it took me a while to figure out what you all were doing. Might get brave and give a guess sometime. Keep up the fun. Mary |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Cluin Date: 23 Aug 05 - 06:28 PM If you use Windows, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map. That will give you the Alt codes for any of the extended character set for the font in question. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST, topsie Date: 23 Aug 05 - 04:32 PM I thought it reminded me of Groucho as well - it's the way the eyebrows are sticking out the sides. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST Date: 23 Aug 05 - 04:23 PM If you use microsoft Word, there is an 'Insert' to click on, which then lets you click on 'Symbol', and lots of letters appear with lots of different accents already on them as well as Greek and Russian letters. when you have composed your message using these you can paste it into the message for posting on mudcat. There may be an easier way, but that's the one I've discovered. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: MudGuard Date: 23 Aug 05 - 03:49 PM Can you tell me how to type a German umlaut That's easy: just press the key that has the umlaut printed on it ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 23 Aug 05 - 03:36 PM re " the o with a line thru it is made by holding down the alt key and typing the numbers 0216," Where does one learn these things? Can you tell me how to type a German umlaut (double quotation mark over a vowel)? I still think the Bobert's drawing is of Groucho Marx's glasses. I'm also eagerly waiting to hear what the prize is. |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Amos Date: 22 Aug 05 - 10:31 AM Ya know, I am sorry, but I don't think it looks much like a plane coming at you. Planes' wings don't curve like that. Cockpits don't have pointy peaks on them. I am afraid this Rorschach game of Bobert's is rigged. A |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: JennyO Date: 22 Aug 05 - 10:14 AM Good grief - me again! I looked in earlier and thought Giok had got it. Well I must say I've been enjoying that peace you awarded me last time, although some folks I know don't seem to be aware that they aren't s'posed to be buggin' me. I reckon I'll be just about ready for the new batch of prizes in a coupla days.
