 * Hello,
 * I have been trying for hours to insert the Greek symbol PI in a text about the
   mathematical symbol PI from one of my students. When I put π in the html code,
   it goes well until I save, and then every π changes into a ? (=question mark)
   in the visual version AND in the html page. Frustrating!
    I tried <p><font face
   =”Symbol”>p</font></p>, which works in IE and Chrome, but not in Firefox.
 * What is the all-browser solution to make the PI sign come on the screen correctly?
   Urgent help needed, and appreciated! 🙂
 * Thanks!
    Herman

 * Hello again,
 * about the preceding post: when I put the “&+p+i+;” in the html code (because 
   here it is converted correctly!).

 * If you are using the HTML tab, try `& #227;` (with the space removed between `&`
   and `#`).

 * Thanks, but that didn’t work out (gave an a with a tilde). After hours of searching
   the bizarre solution appeared to be to change the language (“abc v”)in the edit
   mode. Trial and error, but incomprehensible. One of those (time consuming) things…
