Sometimes you will find strange symbols instead of certain letters or punctuation in the pages you are viewing - this is generally not caused by the HTML content for a particular page, but is the result of a few factors:
- Which Browser you're using
- the operating system platform (Windows, MacIntosh, Linux, etc.)
- the character set or fonts available on your desktop
The following table shows how specific
Ascii characters are displayed and/or interpreted by your current desktop environment (your Browser, current Font, etc.).
Some of these characters may not display properly. That will indicate that your Browser, or the character font/character set currently in use by your Browser, doesn't know what to do
with the specified character.
