PS -- I think the reason these were included is that they appeared as
special control characters (along with the 4 card suits) in certain systems
way back when. That's a guess but I vaguely recall seeing them appear on
mainframe-connected terminals....

Thanks for the info but of course now I can't find that font on the CD or
on-line.

Flat, natural, and sharp signs can be found at 266D, 266E, and 266F of
Arial
Unicode MS (in the Miscellaneous Dingbats character subset). Don't ask me
why the font designer thought it was more important to have "eighth note"
and "beamed eighth notes" in basic Unicode fonts than to include these,
but
there you have it. Arial Unicode MS is a VERY large font and is not
installed by default but should be on your Windows CD.

I'm quite flabbergasted to discover that I can't put a musical sharp or

flat
symbol in Word 2003. With the Word Perfect program that came on this
Dell
computer I found them within seconds by Insert | Symbol | Iconic
Symbols.
With this Word program I'm been trying to find them or even help to
find

them
for well over an hour. Can anyone help?
