    Ahhh. The natural and flat symbols were closer to the letter D before I
    sent it, and they were slightly superscripted.

    I'm using Thunderbird and those symbols look fine here. But be aware
    that some newsreaders don't show all symbols. I switched from Agent to Thunderbird about a year ago primarily so I could see symbols some
    people posted.

    Thanks, Ken. I’m not sure where the causes of garbling might be so I
    checked my post first by Eternal-September → NewsTap → iPhone, then Google Groups → Safari → iPhone, and they come across acceptably via both paths.

    → is another symbol, for –>

    Back in the 1990s it was common to use a double dash in place of an em
    dash, but I see em dashes fine now. In fact, NewsTap won’t allow me to
    write a double dash; it automatically turns it into an em dash.

    The font elements are there, but you can control kerning or
    sub/super-script. Still useful!

    FYI, I just pasted your items above into Facebook post to see how they
    look, and that spacing between the note and the symbols has disappeared.
