First, 130 isn't ASCII, as ASCII is a 7-bit character set.

Oh stop it. 130 is part of "extended ASCII." Yes, it depends on your character set, but your message made no indication of whether you were complaining about the BBS supporting HTML character entities, or were just unsure how to get an E with an accent aigu to show up. I was just providing a solution that works a majority of the BBS. Yes, the BBS should support them, but since it doesn't, I figured I'd point out the alt-codes thingie. I forgot for a moment that you're usually browsing on a Solaris box.

Çhéërs.
