3.9 Special characters

WebMaker 3.0 converts special characters to their appropriate HTML encoding. Note that there are some special characters that FrameMaker users can enter but which have no encoding in standard HTML 3.2. For example, the serif trademark symbol, ^TM, has no encoding in HTML 3.2. WebMaker converts these special characters to appropriate substitutions. For example, the trademark symbol is converted to the letters TM in superscript.

Note that older versions of browsers do not properly display all the special characters. If your readers see the encodings appear in the browser window instead of the special characters, they should obtain a more current version of the browser.

Note also that characters in symbolic fonts, such as Zapf Dingbats and Symbol, do not have HTML representations, and do not have appropriate substitutions.
