The special characters token used to display any ASCII character is &# followed by the number representing this character's ASCII code (a full list of ASCII codes can be found in the appendices).
Some examples :
“ |
Opening Double Quote |
” |
Closing Double Quote |
‘ |
Opening Single Quote |
’ |
Closing Single Quote |
… |
Ellipsis |
• |
Bullet |
° |
Degree Mark |
† |

Although you can cut and paste many of the above characters from QuarkXPress or InDesign or MS-Word into any of the Q++Studio dialogs, these characters often appears as a square or thick vertical line which, when many such characters are used, may lead to confusion. Using this token ensures that the characters used are obvious at all times.
