Hi, I use Amaya for most of my HTML editing. Recently, I wanted to create an "infinity symbol". I discovered that the SGML markup entity for the symbol is ∞ (I think I found this on the Unicode Web site (http://www.unicode.org/)). I couldn't work out how to enter unusual entities in Amaya, so I resorted to inserting it with Emacs to see if it would render correctly. It renders correctly in Amaya and MSIE 4.0, but not Netscape 4.5 or HotJava 1.1.5. However, now I get to my bug report: After editing the file containing ∞ in Amaya 1.4a on Solaris, the file is saved with the Yen symbol (¥ - ISO8859-1 code 0xA5, Unicode 0x00A5) instead of my hand-edited entity reference which should be unicode 0x221E, Symbol font code 0xA5. The same thing has happened with other SGML entities I have tried which are not in ISO8859-1 (eg ℵ turn into À).
