  Attached is my text file called $$ascii.txt, which can be used for cutting
and pasting accented letters, ligatures, ffractions, superscripts, et al.,
if all goes well.  you can Save it as a text file and make use of it.

  I'm sorry it's so messy.  It includes things I took from the Character Map
system utility I found in Windows 98SE as well as odd things that have shown
up elsewhere.  And I've tried to copy the most frequently used characters
onto the first line.
