Using Special Characters

In your web page design it maybe necessary for some part of your textual information to include special ascii characters, such as the copyright or trademark symbol. The following table is a list of ASCII character combinations and the special fonts or symbols they produce. If you find a character that we don't have listed, please let us know and we'll add it to our table.
