Special Symbols

[Jeff Vandehey]

Hi gang, I have to submit a manuscript, that requires the author to be
identified by some special symbols. The first few are easy, dagger Ý double
dagger ý and Secion §.

The next few are a bit tougher. They need what I believe is called
parallels, where it looks like 2 ll's next to eachother. I haven't seen the
other one, but it looks like a capitol T upside down.

How do I type those?

Thanks

On Mac OS X / Word 2004, you can use the Character Palette for all entry
of special characters. m.

Ý = capital Y with acute accent
ý = small y with acute accent

I conclude your newsreader is broken.

Sorry to re-post, but I still don't have a solution. For a manuscript, I
need to type the parallel symbol (looks like ll) and an upside down T. Any
ideas?

What's wrong with the idea that Matt gave you?

Exactly. Using the Character Palette in Word 2004, I found a parallel
symbol (Ç) numbered Unicode 01C1 and an upside down T (⊥) numbered Unicode
22A5. There are others.

OK, I got it figured out. Sorry about all the posts. As Matt suggested, I
used the OSX character palette. I was looking at the Word Insert....symbol,
where these 2 were not found. I thought that was the char palette he was
speaking of.

Thanks for the help.

Exactly. Using the Character Palette in Word 2004, I found a parallel
symbol (?) numbered Unicode 01C1 and an upside down T ($B"](B) numbered Unicode
22A5. There are others.
