AND showed me ALT + 0247 - I guess they are using based at 0 and based at 1 sequences but I was not aware of that so that's a gain. | So overall the experience added to my knowledge base & was positive :-). | |
| May 17, 2016 at 16:22 | comment | added | Pete Kirkham | @RussellMcMahon I didn't tell you the unicode character number as I have found it doesn't work here. What I find quickest really is my first suggestion: if I need a symbol, I search for 'unicode' plus the name of the symbol and then cut and paste the character from the result. The forms here will accept the pasted unicode character. Not every recommendation to use Google is impolite. | |
| May 17, 2016 at 7:42 | comment | added | Russell McMahon♦ | FWIW: What does work here are any of: ÷ ÷ ÷ | With the ";" being an essential part of the expression in each case. Interestingly, these expressions do not yield '÷' when used in comments, as here, but do work in the answer body. | |
| May 17, 2016 at 7:37 | comment | added | Russell McMahon♦ | forms do work takes additional knowledge. eg using &H247 does not work here. You may know why and it may be obvious to yu what to do but, why not instead of the usually rude "Ask Google" suggestion, actually provide the requisite information. | I suggest that it's easier if using Windows (and mayhaps otherwise also) to use ALT+246 (numerics on RH keypad) or ALT+ 0247 yielding ÷ and ÷ respectively. No? . | |

That doesn't mean that that was intended or that is how it is, it's just how I find it. || Is it that hard to be polite in your comments? - eg you could say something like. "FYI - the unicode symbol for division is ÷ . | Not that that would be itself do any good as not only your assumption that everyone knows that unicode can be used in this context incorrect, but you in fact cannot do so directly in all unicode forms, and knowing which ... | |

Is it that hard to use the ÷ symbol? Google for 'unicode divide' and cut and paste, or use the math mode and \\$\div32\\$ \$ \div32 \$
