Title: RE: VMs: Language on 1006106

Ahh - I see that Outlook has changed the accented character I entered, into a question mark. It should have been an 'o' with a small 'v' above it.

Also the 'o' in 'multos' on the oladabas page has what looks like a caret symbol/accent beneath it, like an inverted ? character. To me this also has an East-European feel, although I can't find a reference to the character drawn with the accent below the letter in this way. Does it mean anything to anyone else?
