I have German ancestory.

How on earth did you get that 'ss' charcter? It's not part of ascii; is there some way of entering unicode charcters?

Hold Alt.
On the left keyboard, where the numbers are (make sure it's on) press 225.
= ß

æ and Æ are nice ones too!

WÉLL, í cåñ prìÑt sö mân¥ chàräcters, but I just hadn't noticed Alt-225 (ß) before. Thanks

You're welcome.

You don't know how to get an upper case ë do you?

No. I don't really know how to get many charaters; just the one I need one for my name, and some that are used in foreign words in English.

I had a weird dialogue with my computer through the spell check while emailing myself sort of (addressed to artificial intelligence). I asked it for ideas on what it wanted to be called.Options it presented were Uzi Zip, Zap, Zoë (with a capital ë) and Ezra (the highest angelic scribe). As far as I can tell, it's not even an available ascii character from the keyboard, though i can copy it. I can dozens of other special characters though.
I was wondering how my computer became so sentient, for instance my website makes changes I want without my physical intervention, for awhile I was using a voice dictation software that appending my journal entries with things I forgot to mention (a bit scrambled though). I think the truth of the matter, in spite of all my paranoia about these events, is that I myself am Ezra.

Have you tried to copy, and than to paste?
Or maybe, some programs, like MSword have symbols, and they tell how to make some of the symbols.

I dug out my programming software. I can then use the asc() & chr() functions to get a hint on whats going on. I have a chart of the first 255 chars, and it's not there unless I keep overlooking it.

Kiri.
It's my middle name, but it's what I go by. A bit of my first name is hidden in my Crimsonepperini, but I hate my first name and I hope it's hard to guess it! :)

And it is japanese for 'cut'? Tons of names can be made from your handle.

hmm, ok, My name is Luis Carlos da Silva Romao

Are you Portuguese?

Are you French?

Non, mais je parle en Francais. Actually, come to think of it, I have a French Grandparent (& a german, irish, & scottish)

I thought you are French because of your name (Andre). I'm half French; my mother immigrated from France with her parents when she was six. I don't speak French, but I would really like to learn.

(After Andréas, mon grand-pere, oui) My son's name is L'ile Ambrose (the island of the immortals) Cézanne Clemens. It's definitely a fun language with all it's archaic flourishment, and more verb tenses than the natives are probably aware of. Gaelic is even more fascinating if you are given to spontaneous poetry.

Oh, I just learned a few hours ago that my parents are in France on vacation.

That's so nice.
Good for them.

I'm not familiar with Gaelic much. I'm really eager in learning to speak Latin, though. I'm fascinated with dead languages. Ancient Greek would be my favorite, but I don't have as nearly good base in at as I have in Latin.

Gaelic (I barely knom any) is great not only for it's ancient romantic spellings seemingly from some fairy dragon age but also because all parts of sentence structure are optional and can go in any order: verb-subject, subject-object-verb, not just s-v-o like english. Objects are designated as such by replacing the starting consonants, most have their particular replacement, with B it is M, so you could say "Berkely is a nice town." "I live in Merkeley."

Hebrew is great fun too. Each letter represents an archetype of thought. The 22 letters match the major arcana of the Tarot so you can do a tarot reading on each word that passes your way. This was one the most structured mystic system of the word defining creation, sort of like the periodic table of elements in sound and writing. I had one meditation while sitting at the beach in which I was a bird on the shore. I looked at the stars and the constellations appeared to me as mariners alphabet like that of the the phoenicians that could be scratched into the ground to write travel directions. Latin is useful for being able to translate between languages.

I have really poor knowledge about Hebrew, but I like to way it sounds. Once, I can remember, when I was young, I was watching a TV program about the Bible. They were saying how it's really hard to translate from Hebrew scripts because each symbol in Hebrew can have more than one meaning.

Quite true. The ancient texts are metaphors layered upon metaphors. They contain everything from nuclear physics to models of social behavior and maps of consciousness simultaneously. They took almost literally the notion that creation was a manifestation of angelic speech. Mathematics was a system derived from language, which when translated back into language, continued to reveal the presence of God in all matter.
