      Perhaps a UTF-8 character. Possibly the forum only (sensibly) supports ASCII.

       

      It can also be obvious when people paste text directly from Word in to a web page.

  9. WooHoo back to work tomorrow the joys of more front end turns (cab rides) until I get an instructor!!

  10. Thats the Telford show done overall a very good show just a bit thin on the ground for layouts is my only criticism.
