I've been trying to figure out how to use different symbols in titles. Where is a list of secondary keyboard symbols that we can use. Sometimes I even see different language "letters" used. Where do you get thoses?

i.e. the degree symbol

????

And while we are at it...how are extra spaces added to a title (usually between words)....whenever I try adding extra spaces it never makes a difference...why?

Well, that answers one of my questions (thank you!!!)...but aren't there more symbols that what is on that list?

Those are the basics, but there's always unicode.

Be careful -- things in challenge titles don't always behave the way they should or that you expect.

what I see on the "view page" or "pre-view your entry" is what will be on the "title" line...right???

I'me not sure if there's any change between the preview and the entry's display in voting -- there was an issue a while back of titles disappearing (I think a problem with quotation marks), and I assume that would have been caught in the preview, given that the photographers actually previewed their entries.

I've had the preview page look fine and the actual title in voting be garbage; I had to send a ticket in to fix it with some less-extreme typography, and I've never tried that again. But it was a long time ago.

I've repeatedly had the same problem. But with the photo.

In Windows you can find them and use them using the character map utility. It should be listed in your start menu programs.
