I bet most of their intel is taken from a cooking website.

[moderator, thread cleaned up] All posts from the hijacked thread have been moved here. Sorry if they're a bit of sequence now; I have no options to re-order the posts.

Character (run-> charmap) map lists all the unicode codes for the symbols. Eg capital pi is 03A0.

So get that number and convert it from hex to base 10 in windows calc (run -> calc) then alt+blah the resulting number

Or you could just drag and drop from charmap. ΠΔμαβδ etc etc.

Another way is as TM was saying with the &#xxx; you can also use the names of the chars to type it in. ie xxx = gamma gives &#gamma; <--Edit: Hmmm, strange, that used to work in vbulliten.

problem with charmap is that it gives you a hexadecimal coding. Not my piece of Π . I like the char tables.
