Use the Symbol font (it's a standard font on most Windows computers).

Use the following UBB code to force the use of Symbol (spaces added to keep the code from generating):

[ font=symbol ]ASF[ /font ] should appear as ASF

Symbol does not follow Greek character convention or alphabetical order on the keyboard - it was designed for mathematical formulas. Certain Greek characters are mapped to other English characters:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

I think the J key is the ancient Greek character Digamma, very rarely used and the V is lowecase Sigma used at the end of certain Greek words.

Hope this helps.
