I know how to type symbols (? ?? ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ñ) in microsoft word using alt. code, which is not really a code, but a character set, but when i try to type them in a message or wall on facebook, they come out as numbers only. some symbols, like ñ, come out right when I hold the alt key and type 0241, but other symbols, like ? and ? don't come out, they just look like numbers.
In microsoft word, ? is alt213228 in alt code. I also know that it's unicode is U+534O and it's html is &#21328 but i cannot get it to appear on the wall.
please teach me how to use html code and or unicode. I do not understand what U+534O and &#21328 mean; is there a special way of typing them, or do we just type it like that? please help me, i do not want to cut and paste the symbols, instead I want to understand how to use unicode and html and UTF-8. What is the difference between these codes, and when should they be used? Any help is welcome.
