BTW.... I hope I didn't offend anyone using 'Citroen' vs 'Citroën'. Obviously easier on a QWERTY keyboard....

I don't have the "Pound" symbol on my keyboard. So I have to write "pound" if I'm talking UK money.

On this forum, you can type all the standard symbols and accented characters... ö Ö≤≥∫∅€£¥°

On the full editor page, above the smileys, there are some little tabs that let you access them.

Your vin has the engine code 9HX which is a DV6ATED4 engine so using this in the parts diagrams for a C3II shows it can have rear discs or drums so your car may not have been modified.

It's funny. The 110Hp engine only has rear discs as an option in SEDRE. But the 90Hp has the option of drums or discs. So having drums on the back might be Kosher?

I couldn't think of a logical scenario for why the rear end might have been changed. If the rear swing arm or stub axle were damaged that bad, I think most people would scrap the car. Particularly here where major parts are either unobtainable or hideously expensive.

I often forget that and dig out the character map just for the ° symbol.

I don't seem to be able to get the Unicode characters direct from the keyboard.
(U+00EB small letter e with diaresis)

Ctrl + Shift + U: Press and hold Ctrl + Shift + U, release, type the hexadecimal code, and press Enter or Space.

This is for Linux, Winderz is different.

The degree symbol ° I get by holding down the keyboard Alt button and on the right hand number pad 248.
Half ½ I get doing the same but Alt 171. ¼ by Alt 172 and so on. For these shortcuts the right hand Num Lock has to be on.

Is that in Windows?

[PaulC5]

Yes, Windows.

[myglaren]

I have a vague recollection of doing it in Windows but it involved the Windows key.
Used to use it a lot for the Swedish extra characters (Ä ä Å å Ö ö). Can't remember the Unicode numbers any more though so the character map gets frequent use.
