(I think that is the > correct character number) I was wrong. Actually the UNICODE 2.0 book was wrong. I was fortunately glancing through the online errata just now. It turns out character 700 is a modifier letter apostrophe. <BLOCKQUOTE CITE="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/uni2errata/Apostrophe.htm"> In the case of an apostrophe, U+02BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE is preferred where the character is to represent a modifier letter (for example, in transliterations to indicate a glottal stop). In the latter case, it is also referred to as a letter apostrophe. U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK is preferred where the character is to represent a punctuation mark, as in "We've been here before." In the latter case, U+2019 is also referred to as a punctuation apostrophe. </BLOCKQUOTE> So yes, <!ENTITY apo CDATA "’"> is would be resonable and correct. -- Russell O'Connor roconnor@uwaterloo.ca <URL:http://www.undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca/%7Eroconnor/> "And truth irreversibly destroys the meaning of its own message" -- Anindita Dutta, "The Paradox of Truth, the Truth of Entropy"
