The use of " was accidentally dropped from the HTML 3.2 standard but is probably universally accepted -- use " to conform to standard. Should no longer affect anyone as HTML 3.2 is now rather old.To create a tickmark symbol in Excel, Change the font to "Wingdings 2" and type in a Capital "P"; If you don't know the character to use, you can find it in the Character Map. Unlike MS Word you must change the font, simply pasting from the CharMap is not sufficient.Front Page 98 incorrectly inserts ™ into HTML that does not work with Netscape. [ref]
Front Page uses Ctrl+Shift+Space to generate a non-breaking space character ( ), which is much easier than Alt+0160 on a laptop but does not work in Excel.

Standard refrain for HTML usage is to refrain from using "Special" Windows characters in HTML.Windows characters 130-159 (x'80'-x'8F') are considered invalid by W3C standards, though widely recognized and in use from the 1980's and now registered as the windows-1252 code page (Win-Latin1) at IANA [ref ref.] and are described in The ISO 8859 Alphabet Soup document.

Most of these HTML entity names are those of the ISO 8879 entity sets. Note that the first 128 character codes of any of the ISO 8859 character sets is always identical to the ASCII character set.

Mathematical symbols in HTML see Related at bottom.
Referring to the above table (characters displayed depend on the translation table used)To type the paragraph symbol (¶), use ALT+0182, the number must be from the numeric keypad
For Excel to use a different font you must use the font drop down box. In word if you copy a character you copy both the character and the font.
In a macro Ö [umlaut O] :
ActiveCell.Value = Chr(214)
on a Worksheet:

by typing (only works on numeric keypad):
NumLock Alt+0214 (in Europe use RtAlt) On American keyboards there is no distinction between
LtAlt or RtAlt.

To find the ASCII code of a single pasted character use CODE(char):

you can install in Sub showCharMap() Dim vCharMap as String 'vCharMap = Shell("C:\Windows\CharMap.exe", 1) 'vCharMap = Shell("C:\winnt\system32\CharMap.exe", 1) vCharMap = Shell("C:\winnt\SysWOW64\CharMap.exe", 1) End SubChip Pearson has a Symbolizer Addin to access 200 symbols. (I'd stick with CharMap myself) If you are using Excel 2002 you can use Insert, Symbol. MS Word has a more direct route to the CharMap using Insert, Symbol. |
The Euro currency symbol - euro FAQ on the MS KB. takes on greater importance as the euro is now in use. How to obtain fonts and how to key in. The symbol appears as a large C with two cross bars €, if you see it here properly you have been updated. WinNT 4.0 SP4 updated my system. On US keyboards (FAQ footnote) use the numeric keypad Alt+0128 (with or w/o num lock).
Concerning that the Euro symbol does not appear in the Latin-1 char map with Arial, for instance. I expect that the WWW3 folks have not approved anything for the reserved Chars 128-159, which correspond with reserved Chars 0-31 (that's 00-1F, and 80-9F)

It is found in the Windows character set six characters after lowercase z.

This HTML page will Convert Latitude / Longitude in Degrees/Minutes/Seconds to/from Decimal (FCC) USA, HTML utility permits the user to convert latitude and longitude between decimal degrees and degrees, minutes, and seconds. For convenience, a link is included to the National Geodetic Survey's NADCON
Note: 0176 is the degree symbol, 0186 looks similar is actually a superscript zero and is a little larger.
Additional examples of the above decimal conversions can be found on my formula page.
If you need to sort a column of alphabetic characters and numbers in an EBCDIC simulation in Excel see sorting for an abbreviated solution that sorts letters and numbers and equal(=) and minus(-).
Excel has it's own collating sequence for sorting. Numbers are sorted before text, text is sorted in the following order (upper and lowercase sort equal). The following table shows the Excel collating sequence for text cells char(32) to Char(127).

The following public text lists each of the characters specified in the Added Latin 1 entity set, along with its name, syntax for use, and description. This list is derived from ISO Standard 8879:1986//ENTITIES Added Latin 1//EN. HTML includes the entire entity set.

The WWW3 folks have not approved anything for the reserved Chars 128-159, which correspond with reserved Chars 0-31, so you may not find Microsoft unauthorized extensions on WWW3.

Punch card codes are included but not the newer characters added to various codepages; and therefore, avoids additional problems related to codepages. The table includes the characters used in Assembler, COBOL, FORTRAN, PL/I, and REXX as used on mainframes.

Warning the punches marked along the right and bottom are over simplified and ONLY apply to cells which are showing a value. There are MANY exceptions including the following which appear in the chart. THIS AREA NEEDS A LOT MORE WORK. ALSO translations to or from ASCII are not consistent or reversible. Translations depend on your systems.
