Character Sets?

[SteveD CB500K0]

John, the recent weather and posting activity leads me to ask if there's a setting that allows additional characters to be used in posts.

Like a "degrees" character for example.

I can do it on my Blackberry under "symbols" but SMF doesn't seem to have the facility (unless there's an add-on?)

BTW: Triumph Forum doesn't do it either (they use vBulletin)

I use the ones from Word

So do you paste the character into the post each time you want to use it?

Yes from word or another posting....

OK.

Not quite what I had in mind (a pull-down-menu would have been nice)

If you hold down the ALT key, the editor will accept UTF-8 character codes.

eg:

<ALT>0176 =
