Ojibwe?

There was a classic study on societal instability/stability done with the Ojibwe about 50 years ago, I'd guess. It showed that in those families where culture, things like heritage and traditional institutions, were most important -- those families (and individuals) had the least problems with instability.

Yes, it is difficult to feel much of anything if there is a sense of being an alien to your past, your family and those around you.

I am so tempted to drift off into family history, conjecture and myth.

Restraining myself here despite my pride in Native American family . . .

The code I'm talking about has to do with "web code." TEG is very tolerant of copying and pasting. For example, I don't have a degree symbol on my keyboard. I actually keep it on a yellow sticky on my desktop and can copy and paste it here to let you know that it was 15F when I got up this morning.

I don't have it on a key but I can use "Alt + 248" as a keyboard shortcut: 15 - see!?

Or, I've just learned that I can use a Number Code. I'll space this out so that it doesn't just make a degree sign: & # 1 7 6 ; If I put those together: Hey!

Now, since TEG is so tolerant of copying and pasting things like degree signs, I'm not sure how much it helps to know this and if one should bother to keep a list of keyboard shortcut code or number code handy . . . I'm still wondering about that.

Steve that is too neat! How do you find out about such codes? I've never made a degree symbol until now. I'm not getting the Number Code thing but I'm wondering if there is a list somewhere that gives you symbols. I've often wondered about accent marks in foreign spellings as well.

I think the Marine Corps decided that they over-rule any studies done 50 years ago... he has his moments...

Here are some things from Wikipedia.

Words using diacritic marks just copied & pasted: anim, expos, lam, mat, re, re, pt, piqu, ros, souffl, resum, and sak .

The Slovak alphabet uses the acute ( ĺ ŕ), caron (č ď ľ ň ť ), umlaut () and circumflex accent ().

Symbol font (Times): α β

TEG is wonderfully tolerant!

Here is using pasting first then using the HTML number code for the same symbol:

Guess I should have mentioned that, if you're using Windows you have another source for the same information and more right on your computer. Click <START> <RUN> and type "charmap" without the quotes. Press <ENTER>. Select the character you want. (Note: some fonts have different characters, notably WINGDINGS and WEBDINGS.) Click <SELECT>, <COPY>, and paste the character into your document. You can select and copy multiple characters all at once, but you'll have to add any additional spaces between them after pasting.

So, OG, those things have been just sitting there waiting for me to find them?

I did know that I had symbols in the word processor but "Charmap?" Windows, eh? That Bill Gates was always giving us about 6 ways to move the car. I'd usually end up pushing it while reaching thru the open window with one hand on the steering wheel.

A prize for you, Ѽ !
