this can be ignored, but really there is a major issue concerning the alt codes on my computer that I need an expert to give me advice on. Most of these show as a question mark with the exception of alt+7 and a few others as far as I know. There are just so many alt codes that maybe I'll list only up to 50 for now. (My browser is Mozilla Firefox, the Character Encoding is set to Unicode (UTF-8) and the format is set to BBCode) I just don't know what's wrong ;_;

never mind all this, thanks to Aivilo ^-^

Thanks for the links!

Thanks for the links! Though, I'm unsure if the HTML codes are supposed to be a sequence of buttons to press on keyboard in some order..
