I wrote, about the accent over the e in Antoine's surname-

"What's more I can now see that the accent over the e in his surname is not
a grave, as I had surmised, but a circonflexe. Whatever that may do to the
way that you say it."

Sorry, got that wrong. I didn't look hard enough. It's a trema, and that 
means that the two vowel-sounds in Couette are to be prononced separately, 
as in coop (with a trema over the second o) = co-op.

In my emailed version, Kermit's degree-sign now comes across loud and clear
just as it should.

In reply to your post [NavList #13997]


Dear Paul,


in your referenced post, you wrote :

"In Kermit's messages, whether viewed by email or the web site, the
degree symbol doesn't appear. I see only a ? (question mark). And in his
sig the name is spelled "Cou?tte" (a ? symbol between "Cou" and "tte"."

*******

Well, again things look a bit more complicated in the sense that they are
not "systematic",

... as an example, in my post [NavList #13895]:


all characters correctly on the web (at least for me on 2 different Web
Browsers MSIE and OPERA) : just look at the bottom part of this post under
the PART TWO header (lower half of PART TWO) where both the degree symbol
and my name show correctly, while

... as an other example, in my subsequent post [NavList #13974], both the
degree symbol and the spelling of my name fail to show correctly ...

Why ? Full mystery ...

Just for the fun of it, I am again entering a "degree" character now. Here
it is on its own following line :

                             °

Before submitting this current post, I can currently read it as a degree
cheracter sign in my window. How will it show when available for public
display ? Still a mystery to me : 50% chances ity will show as a true
degree sign, and 50% chances it will show as a question mark in a smal dark
diamond shaped window.


Same for the spelling of my Last name, I just have to wait until I can see
how it has turned out ...

Meanwhile, thank you again for your "kind and peaceful" :-)  comments, and

Best Regards

Kermit

Antoine M. "Kermit" Couëtte
