any decent ASCII or HTML special character code list gives the names. I think he just wants to see the inferior monkeys jump. But to give the benefit of the doubt again, the term to use is "special characters".

Here's an example of a name list, although it's far from complete: http://www.mreasyweb.com/tutorial/symbols.html

Diaeresis, masculine ordinal indicator, grave, em dash, guillemet, cedilla. A treasure trove.

Never saw "per mille sign" or the letter "ETH". And never knew that symbol was called “section sign”. Still don't know what the letter n with tilde is called. Knew it once. It was not ntilde. But cannot remember.

BTW, 'passive aggressive' and other ‘monkey’ games are equated to liars or wacko extremists. I don't play such games. As clodfobble should have learned previously. I post only what I mean. Nothing more. And never play the 'cheap shot' games of hidden agendas. If I believe you to be an asshole, I say so and also say why. As any blunt honest person would do.

For anyone who always suspects a “hidden agenda”: I never even implied an insult so do not jump to the usual assumptions. Some may be so juvenile as to need it spelled out that explicitly. Otherwise they would automatically assume hidden meanings that their emotions told them to find. xoxoxoBruce read it exactly as posted.

"Special Character Names". Never knew it by that expression. Those character names were available in the good old days - in something once universally available called a dictionary.

Waka Waka Bang Splat Poem

Not sure about copyright, so I could only supply a link. This poem uses the common 'geek' names for special characters.
