@amandamakepeace that makes sense

@tess What OS are you using at work?
-
@tess US international layout is the answer. Apostrophes become dead accents
-
@greenpeace Who made that illustration?
-
@eco_amandine 💜 sorry to hear that!
-
@transitionalaspect fingers crossed for you!
-
@mandy ugh sorry to hear it's painful for you! Good choice to go through it anyway. I guess a few moments of pain is much better than letting something go undetected.

@tess When I retire I want to make a website where you can pick any Unicode character easily, and define your own collections.
In my terminal I have alias ch='less ~/Dropbox/characters.txt', and the output starts with
U+00B1 ± PLUS-MINUS SIGN
U+00B2 ² SUPERSCRIPT TWO
U+00B3 ³ SUPERSCRIPT THREE
U+00B5 µ MICRO SIGN
U+00B7 · MIDDLE DOT
etc.
The one I use most is
U+2192 → RIGHTWARDS ARROW
(because I'm lucky to have a Mac and an Italian keyboard which is also fine for French)
