What is the ASCII code to get that plus and minus sign?
The Unicode hex value for �xB1; is 0x00B1.

I got it from OpenOffice's Insert > Special Character function.

I guess Abulafia will have a similar option.

If you're using the Windows OS, you can enter the (decimal)number on the numpad while holding down the Alt key. Hex 0xB1 = Decimal 177.

It's been a while since I've used Windows, so I forgot the leading zero.

(esp. when the decimal number, in context, is extremely ambiguous; i.e. 0177 could be octal or hex or decimal.)

My understanding (completely self-generated, but based on some knowledge of basic computer programming) is that the routine that handles the input is looking for four digits and if it doesn't get them it's not going to work.
