Custom Table Footnote options

[Fred Ridder]

What's happening is fairly obvious. "\x" does not designate a Unicode point--rather, it is the hexadecimal radix indicator. You use it when you need FrameMaker to interpret the following characters as hexadecimal digits. In this case FrameMaker is interpreting \x2660 as 0x26 followed by the alphanumeric characters 60. And since 0x26 is equal to 38 decimal, \x26 is displayed as & (which occupies Unicode point U+0038).
