Denoting footnotes with "¬"

[kilucas]

I need to find an alternative character to the backward single quote
to use in a modified version of FootnotePlugin and cannot think of
many characters that my TW + plugins don't already use. I haven't yet
spotted a use for the "¬" character which, on my keyboard is SHIFT
+<backward single quote>. If I search the various help sites for this
I either get nothing or everything. So can anyone spot whether this
character will conflict with any other TW facilities or plugins
perhaps?

Thanks

Kevin

That keyboard combination here (US English keyboard) would be a tilde
(~, 0x7e) character. The "Ź" character (Unicode 0x00ac, UTF8 0xc2,0xac)
may not be typeable on many machines but should display just fine.
Really depends on the use.

Perhaps a multiple char combination?

I hadn't thought of a multi-character combinations partty because my
original problem was caused by the single character that's important
to the Mathematical version of HTMLArea.

I'd been checking whether this "¬" character was on all the keyboards
I could spot - I'm based in the UK - but managed to spot a US
keyboard, albeit a laptop, and you're right that I can't easily spot
the character there.

In practice my usages probably would be entirely UK, but better to
build something flexible if I can.

So I'll give multi-standard-character some thought.

Many thanks

I ended up using the British pound sign three times since all my uses
are UK and I've not spotted any plugins that use it. It works in
standard tiddlers and those edited with HTMLArea.

I tried the "¬" character but the TW wouldn't even load completely. I
don't know why.

I tried some multi-character combinations but my early choices were
problematic. For example, anyuthing containing the "@" symbol is
recognised by HTMLArea as a likely email address component!

But the British pouind "£" (not the US pound "#") works fine for me.

Many thanks
