I see it as three seperate       characters. (an upside-down L, an o with a back tick, and a u with a forward       tick.)              AND - because of the 8-bittedness(tm) of those characters, this message will       post as UTF-8.              ---        * Origin: -=[ Space Station Alpha ]=- (1:266/420.0)    |
