I need the html code for ® (a circled R),

[Susan May]

Does anyone know what code I need to use in Frontpage that shows the circled
R which goes after CFP, RFC? I have tried many things in Frontpage "&reg",
and when I import it into my email marketing program, and preview it in Yahoo
or other email programs, it displays a box? Any suggestions? Is there
another way to do it?

Please help. Thanks.

Susan

Try going to 'Insert' in the menu bar and then 'Symbol'. YOu should be able
to find it there. I think what you are doing now is inserting basically a
picture, which is why you are seeing the box.

See http://www.w3schools.com for a full list of entities, including the
numeric and character entities for registered trademark. Your version, &reg
, is missing the semi-colon at the end.

The box displayed could be a clash in character sets- your page defines one
character set, for example:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
abd is encoded using this, but your server sends the page out with
another - such as UTF-8
This is demonstrated at http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/symbols.aspx
Or the box could be because the font you are using does not include the
registered trademark in its collection of characters - not every font
includes every character.
Change the font to Arial (which does include the registered trademark) and
see if that works correctly.

Kim - I did this, and it looks find in MS FrontPage, but I import the file
into Interspire Email Marketing Program and it displays it as a box when
previewed in all the email programs. It also shows up in the program, but
somehow, Yahoo, Outlook and Gmail doesn't recognize the symbol.

Thanks.

Thanks Ronx - great website. I am using Arial, and thanks - I think I
finally got it using ^®. I have been trying to get this to work
for the last couple of days -- spent way too much time on it. I appreciate
your response and link to the cool website, as I'm not an html'er, but may be
soon!
