Can't enter alpha character in text

[Ann Zdunczyk]

For years I have used a software product called PopChar. I displays all the
characters in a font and by clicking on the character it will place it in
your application. Here is the URL:
http://www.ergonis.com/products/popcharx/. It works on MAC and PC.

Are you sure there's an alpha in the font you're using? You can inspect it
with Windows' Character Map utility. It will indicate the key sequence to
type it in the status bar.

If you're using a Unicode font, 097 is wrong. Use one of the methods
documented here:

Or just cut and paste from the "browser test page" that links to.
