Guest Edgar Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:08 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:08 PM While we're on the subject, a "c" enclosed in parentheses will be converted into the copyright symbol, ©, regardless of whether emoticons are enabled or not. This problem rears its ugly head whenever anyone refers to a 501©(3) corporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:09 PM This time I unchecked the "Enable..." box before postingHere is a "uppercase-B-paren" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:12 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 at 09:12 PM Something else to chew on:© generates the "copyright" (c-an-a-circle) symbol I typed "leftparen-c-rightparen".Even when "Enable Emoticons is unchecked, i.e. off.Go figure.
