In the article I told you how to find out the code number for the symbol you were on, and how to find out what symbol is represented by a given code. But I neglected to tell you what to do if you don't yet have the symbol and don't know its code. That's where the Characters Names Index comes in handy. I followed the link for O-Z and did a find for "root." I found the codes for square root, cube root, and fourth root. Also, I just went back and tried to search for the phrase "square root" at the <a href="http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/search.htm" title="Unicode Search Page at fileformat.info">Unicode Search Page</a> I mentioned above. I should have tried that earlier. That works like a charm too. Lots of ways to find the symbols you need and their codes!! --jd I just found another cool resource: the Character Names Index at unicode.org.
