   Hi Maurice,   
      
   MK> Note that I am replying on a different machine this time since I am   
   MK> in the middle of a major overhaul on the raspi3b+ which will take at   
   MK> least another 32 hours.   
      
    MK>> That translates to the '÷' character in utf8 - usually written   
    MK>> as U+00F7   
      
   That character pair I see as C3B7.   
      
   MK> An excellent online source for utf8 characters is   
   MK> http://www.utf8-chartable.de/   
      
   Thanks for that URL.   
      
   MK> up in hex editors to the corresponding utf8 characters.   
   MK> For example U+00F7 will show up as a hex 'c3 b7' pair   
      
   OK, Now I agree, however I don't see the use of U+00F7.   
      
   MK> whereas the small slashed 'o' characters in Møøse show up as   
   MK> 'c3 b8' hex pairs.   
      
   MK> -={ ':read !echo -e "\u00f7 \xc3\xb7"' starts }=-   
   ÷ ÷   
   MK> -={ ':read !echo -e "\u00f7 \xc3\xb7"' ends }=-   
      
   MK> Imagine that!!!  It works!!!   
      
   Don't tell more, I only get confused .   
      
    HG> If I translate that german line to swedish, norwegian or danish   
      
   MK> -={ ':read !trans -b -no-ansi -s swedish -t english "En Møøse   
      
   MK> If you have a better Swedish translation I would like to see it but   
   MK> the Møøse stays, no matter what my sister or anyone   
      
   Well I can't give you a better translation than the ones I gave.   
   They are solely based on your german tag line.   
      
   Also, I think that tagline of yours has become shorter than the   
   'original'.   
      
   Have a good night,
