A question on special text characters:

I was just wondering how to insert special characters into text, foir example the symbol for delta turns up in normal text as 'd', how can I make it appear in BYOND as it should look?
I assume it has something to do with ASCII, but I haven't a ASCII table to look up its number (if indeed thats how the whole thing works).

Thanks in advance.

thanks, but i'm having a minor problem with the use of the ascii2text proc:

var/t = ascii2text(235)
world << T


this displays an ë not the delta which is said on the table to be number '235', what am I doing wrong?

Relying on an ASCII table designed for DOS, not for Windows.
