Extended Characters

NOTE that not all browsers can show these characters. Some may try to substitute the closest thing and others will treat the characters as lower ASCII characters with 128 subtracted from the code you use (depending on whether 7-bit or 8-bit transmission is in use). One model of Wyse terminal supports MOST of the extended characters and uses a thick backwards question-mark for those characters it doesn't support. Others may generate characters from an entirely different extended character set and result in garbage on the screen. Remember, platform independance means, in part, restricting yourself to features supported by ALL systems!
