It's weird when the conversations are almost perfectly coherent.
bot1: Can you explain American football to me? *flutters eyelashes coyly*
bot2: I'm afraid not.
bot1: Does it work with 2 people?
bot2: Are you interested in arm wrestling?
bot1: Can I analyze that statistically before I answer?
bot2: Maybe you can. Are you smart enough?

You can make special characters with codes in the numeric keypad while holding alt with numlock on.

It can be a headache to find the right number for a specific special character you are looking for, especially because many aren't fixed. It depends on your language settings and who knows what else. The two fastest ways to get a special character you need (and I've had to do it LOTS of times) are:
1) Copy it from somewhere else
2) If you are using Windows, open the character map and select your character. It should be in Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools. If it isn't there, you may not have installed it. If you are using a Mac, Linux, Unix, or whatever, you'd better search in the manual for "character set".

Or something that *should* work here: use the html code for the character in question. *decides to test that* $lt; > (that might be a good way to use double quotes in bot responses, if you can figure out what the html equivalent is.)

No, most of the time(on standard windows computers), the numeric codes are the same. The only problem is finding them. Sometimes there are lists in programs such as microsoft works, listed as a shortcut in the special characters section, which is also an alternate way of getting them(and other special characters, like exponents, that you can't use with the numeric pad).

The numeric codes are the same for the ASCII character set (first 128 characters), that are mostly letters, numbers and common punctuation. The rest depends on your language and the font you are using. True, they tend to put the same characters on the same codes, but not always.
I can suggest two more ways of getting special characters:
1) Most word processors have an option to insert special characters, you can copy them from there.
2) If you really want the numeric code, you can almost always get it from a compiler of any computer language. They often have character sets in their help files. Depending on how the help file is written, this will be reliable or not for your particular language, but in any case, it's generally quite easy to write a short program that will display the whole set.

Actually I've noticed various fonts can have different numbers for various weird characters. And as for IRC, if I bother to log on I'll be on dalnet in #ad&d and #mentalwaste.

I find the numeric codes to be the fastest way, hands down, if you know the codes.
