Please note that similar characters (e.g. « & ») are ordered by their numeric-based code on this page and might not be located near each other. If you have difficulty recreating special characters that appear on this page, you can always resort to "viewing" this document source. Have fun!
Special Note: I have noticed that Netscape 2.02 for MacOS and Unix incorrectly render some of the letter-based descriptive codes. For maximum compatibility (i.e. professionalism) use the numeric codes for these special characters.
