This is what an XML or HTML numeric character reference like – references, by definition. – always means the non-printing control character with the legacy name START OF GUARDED AREA. Character number 150 is only the EN DASH character in Windows 8-bit codepages, which are irrelevant when you write a numeric character reference. See http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?ucode=2013 as well as the relevant specs. Numeric character references never refer to Windows codepages, even though browsers may erroneously exhibit such behavior. You were right to point out – and — though. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________ Mike J.
