How can I create subscript characters in Car4play posts? In particular, I want to be able to type CO2 correctly.

CO2

Using HTML tags like this:

CO<_sub>2<_/sub> without the underlines

CO²

Got the ² by holding down the alt key and then typing 0178 on the numb pad.

Alternately why not just call it carbon dioxide?

But it's not CO2 is it. It's CO2.

I was trying to work out how to type the degree symbol (°) at college. I asked one of the barely comprehensible but supremely computer-literate teenagers on my course what the ALT code was - he shrugged, leant over, Googled for "degree symbol" and copied-and-pasted the relevant character across into my document. That told me, then.

Character Map gives you the degree symbol, plus lots of others.

Start > Run > type in charmap.exe > OK

Somehow (?) I managed to get a desktop icon of Character Map.

I've remembered. Start > All Programs > Acessories > System Tools > Right click Character Map > Create Shortcut, and drag it onto the desktop.

No the chemical formula is CO2. Unless you don't use the same rules as chemistcs ;-)

CO2 is CO squared, CO2 is the chemical symbol for carbon dioxide.
