Thanks for that - ages ago I spent a LONG time tapping out masses of numbers to find the symbols which appeared and was fascinated by the range that popped up, but there were stil ones missing. Since then I have found a couple of websites giving lists but none of them are complete after all it goes into the thousands -so I think there are lots yet to discover. Meantime I will add these to my list tonight and print it out. I keep the list stuck on the side of my hard drive and squint at it when I need something!

Computer tips: To get a £ sign hold down the Alt tab whilst the number pad is activated and type 156, similarly a € sign is Alt depressed and 0128. To get ½ as in ½ d either do it separately in Word and Copy and Paste, or also in Word "Insert Symbol" and you will find a ½ there. > > Jean Wood > > Notts Surname List http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~hughw/notts.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NOTTSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
