A bit of pendanticness: these characters aren’t ASCII, they are Unicode. ASCII ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii ) is oldskool and doesn’t include all that many characters. Unicode, on the other hand, has all sorts of cool stuff like ? and ?, as well as practical stuff like Japanese, Chinese, Cyrilic, musical symbols and mathematical symbols.

This is a very useful tip. I have been using musical notes in some work lately, just as decorations, but I have been using graphics. Being able to simply use ASCII keeps my work much smaller and simpler!

Billy,

WordPress and many other software packages will filter out characters such as this when submitted within a form.

I have changed my Keyboard language, from Us English, to Us-Englsh-International.
To avoid trying to memorize all these codes.

And it is really cool, just press right ALT, and go thruogh the keyboard, from the numbers down, and you can get many of these ASCII characters, and with a combination of other keys, you can get some more.

However, now my keyboard language doesn’t do all these musical notes characters.
Anybody know how to do them in US-English-International???
