heck last time I had to use the alt-### thing was back in the BBS days to put high ascii symbols in stuff

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.
