I looked it up) it's extend ascii like language specific characters n stuff like this: � (0176 - normaly a small circle) � (0174 - The R in a circle - Registrated) � (0169 - The C in a circle - Copyridghted) � (0153 - TM - The last 3 are in almsot every font but this one isn't...) u can expect to find every ascii char in every standard charset/font but u can#t except to find every ansi char on every standard charset/font this is why ascii is umm the way it is ;) I think also colored ascii in some form is ansi (isn't there this control code in ansi where u can write a number from 0 to 16 (or was it 15?) behind it and then get the next char colored... or is this just a mirc feature? Hope I didn't miss any important stuff and I also hope the Stuff I wrote is correct ;) ___ Freezer ;)
