Strange feedback question

[Blackjack]

I just got this feedback today:

 

Thank you for the prompt & careful shipping!! Excellent auction item!! A++++++++

 

 

What is &?

 

This is the second time I've recieved feedback with this exact phrase.

[deathtrappomegranate]

"&" is called an ampersand. It means "and".

Ok, something here is weird!!!!!!!!!

 

There is supposed to be the (#) sign and the number 38 and a semicolon after the word prompt. For some reason ebay and this board filters out

this particular phrase.

Ok, here's a screenshot of my original post before I hit the submit button. As you can see, it's different from what showed up.

[CPUWIZ]

& is character number 38 in ASCII

[Blackjack]

I don't speak ascii

 

Now deathtrappomegranate and anyone who read the post before I added the screenie is going to think I'm nuts or just very dumb

 

Kinda funny really.

Another one that gets put in there sometimes is this:

 

 

Which is basically a non-breaking space. Some HTML filters & online forms mess things up, and a simple & turns into the thing you tried to post in first post CPU is correct, it's an ascii character, I don't believe people speak it, probably about as popular as that Wingdings langauge was. Ascii does make for interesting movies!

[deathtrappomegranate]

Heh!

 

Anyone who does speak ASCII is likelyto be the victim of violence very soon!

 

I know what you mean though...my "custom status" looks similar if you don't have the right fonts installed.

Out of interest, what web browser are you using? It should filter out that ASCII code...
