Naw, that's just straight extended ASCII, no Unicode needed there.

I thought not--but it is an elongated S, of sorts.

Mercy me, go and look at it in the link. I sincerely apologize for not knowing what it's called. I looked at my Ramsch list http://www.ramsch.org/martin/uni/fmi-hp/iso8859-1.html, but it doesn't have it.

ah, but there's the rub, not? until we find a picture of it, I'm not going to be able to see it, because it's not in my font set anywhere...

yippee! after much searching, I found a Unicode font for macs:

http://www.sil.org/~gaultney/gentium/download.html

I use Moz for OS 10.2.3, and needed to go into my prefs and tweak the Font/Unicode settings to read the new font, but now I can see all the marks.

Apple should have done this in the first place...

now I have to figure out how to type all these funky characters...
