Hi Maurice,

 MK>> That translates to the '÷' character in utf8 - usually written

That character pair I see as C3B7.

MK> An excellent online source for utf8 characters is

Thanks for that URL.

MK> up in hex editors to the corresponding utf8 characters.
MK> For example U+00F7 will show up as a hex 'c3 b7' pair

OK, Now I agree, however I don't see the use of U+00F7.

MK> whereas the small slashed 'o' characters in Møøse show up as
MK> 'c3 b8' hex pairs.

MK> -={ '<Esc>:read !echo -e "\u00f7 \xc3\xb7"' starts }=-
÷ ÷
MK> -={ '<Esc>:read !echo -e "\u00f7 \xc3\xb7"' ends }=-

MK> Imagine that!!!  It works!!!

Don't tell more, I only get confused <BG>.

 HG> If I translate that german line to swedish, norwegian or danish

MK> -={ '<Esc>:read !trans -b -no-ansi -s swedish -t english "En Møøse

MK> If you have a better Swedish translation I would like to see it but
MK> the Møøse stays, no matter what my sister or anyone

Well I can't give you a better translation than the ones I gave.
They are solely based on your german tag line.

Also, I think that tagline of yours has become shorter than the
'original'.

Have a good night,

Holger
