It's encoded as e2 94 82 = 11100010 10010100 10000010 Take that out of UTF-8 encoding, and you get 0010 010100 000010 = 9474 (decimal) or 2502 (hex). Those are Unicode code points. A quick Google suggests that's "BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT VERTICAL". No, you *don't* type it directly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Input_methods suggests ... hold down Ctrl and Shift and enter the hexadecimal Unicode value, preceded by the letter U if using GNOME 2.15 or later. Note: if your e-mail client is not UTF-8-aware (or there's *very* buggy software between the list and you) then you won't see that symbol properly. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail: james@ | Users are not like normal particles; they wave when you aprilcottage.co.uk | observe them. | -- Andrew Dalgleish
