I am trying to use a special character as a footnote symbol using nn. Why is the wrong character coming out in the table?
This question is often asked in the context of the long dash character. For example, with the Windows version of TPL, it might be displayed as a D with a horizontal line bisecting the vertical line of the D or, with the UNIX version of TPL, it might be displayed as a + or – sign. Beginning with Version 5 of TPL Tables, the character codes for some special characters were changed to fit Windows and other standards. Please see Appendix J in the TPL Tables Manual for the current character sets and guidance on which to use. If you do not already have the Manual, you can download it from our Download page. If you are using the Windows version of TPL, you can also find the character sets in the TPL Help section “Notes on Character Sets and Codepages”.
