Hmm... The square box implies to me that your email interface recognized
that it was a Unicode character, but didn't have that character
available in the font used for displaying the message. Possibly you
could see it if you can switch display fonts?
I wondered about that at the time and tried a couple of alternatives without
success. I just tried searching several fonts in Windows Character Map (using
the Unicode option of course) but couldn't find one that included that
character. Having typed that, it occurred to me that I could look at the source
of the Wikipedia page, where I found they specify Lucida Sans Unicode, which
does include it. Using that for my email does show it. Problem solved! I
normally read email using plain Arial, which does not include it. This message
has now been typed with a mixture, so I wonder how it will come through to you
(my guess is it will make no difference, sending in plain text).
In the Miscellaneous Symbols block, ♯ at your service.
Thanks. Never needed it on a web site yet, but who knows what the future may
hold?
