way***. If we use the proper Unicode operator ∘, then let's make a wiki page for all the common OSes/input methods, saying how to input it (aside from copy/paste). Is there anything on the Web somewhere already? Did Perl do this ( - I think they introduced some Unicode-based syntax)? There's <a href="http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Unicode-symbols" target="_blank">http://www.haskell.org/<u></u>haskellwiki/Unicode-symbols</a> , which has some information (none of which let me write ∘ in an e-mail without using copy/paste).<br>
