| Emoticon |
Hi oh powerful Relief Office ^^
Lately I've felt the need for an emoticon, one that expresses the emotion of exasperation... And I finally found one that did it for me, but I can't think of how to get a character without being forced to copy and paste.
That emotiocon is �_�. So how the heck do you get the '�'?

On a PC, you can get the � by typing '0172' on the number pad on the right side of the keyboard while holding down the alt key.
So try it! Hold down alt and while it's still held down, type 0 1 7 2 on the number pad. �! Make sure you use the keypad on the right side of the keyboard. It won't work if you use the numbers on the top of your keyboard.

Ne, Kat-chan...if Kat-chan doesn't like big button combos, then Kat-chan can use the "Character Map" utility buried under Accessories>System Tools on the Windows Start Menu, if Kat-chan is using a Windows-PC. Character Map also gives Edward lotsa other letters like �, �, �, & �.
Edward thinks that Macs and UNIXes have something similar, but Edward is not playing with one right now.

Pssst...Kat-chan...by the way, "�" is also known as the Unicode "Not Sign" for typing out Boolean math.
So, like maybe Kat-chan's �_� smiley is like saying "That's so not."

Thanks! I knew if anyone would know you guys would ^^ I figured it would be in character map... somewhere... but that was complicated as looking over that many characters confuses me to the point where I forget what I was looking at... I agree with Ed's problem... too many interesting characters... Although with 'alt-codes' I've always been a fan of Alt 7 8 9 = �
Is there anything you guys *can't* do? Taking over the world is easy (except for the others who own it), punching someone into Orbit, Piloting Mecha... This truely is a place for people who can do anything, isn't it?

If you're curious how to achieve it on a Mac... � is option l (ell)
�_�
� is option 6
?��� is copyrighted, registered trademark of Apple Computer ^^
? is shift-option k and produces a black apple with a bite out of it, on a Mac
Of course the Apple might not be visible for people without the proper fonts...
