I'm afraid I don't know what it's called. Back in the days of phototypesetting these were called Pi characters as I recall. Is this in any way related to markdown? An example is ALT+0169 giving a copyright symbol. Being able to use them again would be helpful, but we managed without them. In a way, yes. Markdown lets you embed HTML characters natively. The copyright symbol is © . See here for more examples: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/html_symbols.asp Of course, there's also emoji, which we don't yet support, but one day will. Mark
