I will read that! Finally getting back to my books and Spanish study. Thanks!
Re special characters: Here's a message someone sent me that I've been using--be sure the number pad at the right of the keyboard is locked, and then hopefully these will work for you:
I'm not sure if there's a website. But Windows has this utility called "Character Map" (Start->Run and type 'charmap' then Enter) which can help you in this matter. The "¡", I got it from there (I have a spanish keyboard ;)) I'll make a list of the ones I know:
Accented a (á) -> Alt+160 Accented e (é) -> Alt+130 Accented i (í) -> Alt+161 Accented o (ó) -> Alt+162 Accented u (ú) -> Alt+163 ñ -> Alt+164 Ñ -> Alt+165 ü -> Alt + 129 ï-> 139 ò->149 Ä->142 ¡(Inverted exclamation mark) -> Alt+0161 Opening Question Mark (¿) -> Alt+168 alt key and 0171 on your numberpad makes « alt key and 0187 on your numberpad makes »
...when I pasted 'Bit's link into the document where I keep my list of accent codes, I saw that I already had a different list, which I'd labeled "acentos para LJ (gracias a mamculuna)." It's the same as the one in your comment above, except w/out the umlauted letters & the guillemets (& I only know the name for those from 'Bit's page, hee!). That's when a vague memory of getting those accents from mamcu (in chat?) surfaced. I think I tried them then & they didn't work. Oddly, some of the codes on the list are the same as the ones I already had ([]) & some aren't ([]). So we'll see how they come out.
(post-preview) Yyyyeh. That 1st box was supposed to be the inverted ex. point & the 2nd one the inverted q. mark. OK, still not working for me. Guess I'll use the ones w/the "& #" in message bodies & just try to avoid accents in subject lines, till I figure out what the problem is. Maybe it's my browser? But I don't see why that would make a difference. >suspiro< ¿Quién sabe?
(post-attempt to submit, gaaahh!) So I try to post this, & I get this page: "Bad Unicode Input: Your browser sent some text which is not recognised as valid text in the UTF-8 encoding, as it should be. This might happen if you forced your browser to view the previous page in some other encoding rather than UTF-8. It may also indicate a bug in the browser. If you cannot get around this error, contact us." OK, I'm replacing all the boxes w/"[]."
