Ok, this is the last thing I'm going to do with that OEM character set thingy. So much of our DOS heritage is being lost that I had to do something to preserve it. But now I'm done. I promise. Anyway, here it is in HTML.

How about a table, so that we can use a prop-width font? Þe olde Times New Roman actually has the best male and female symbols, I must say. Nice big round ones, not those little shrunk up things like the other fonts.

Comments:
Although now that I think back, I do have a vague memory of a Pt symbol in the IBM character set, as displayed at http://telecom.tbi.net/asc-ibm.html -- not sure if the Pts symbol there is the best option to replicate it, but I guess you can only do so well with Unicode. Anybody know why it doesn't display as Pt in a cmd window?
