Continuing due to limit of attachments and repeating the whole line of events to get to

The result of repeating all of that without additional comments: ππ Hopefully it makes sense and it can be seen that it defaults back to Latin page each time.

If I understand all that correctly then, yes, it appears to be as you say - but that's definitely different from what I'm experiencing. If, after having selected (and 'used') the 'Greek' page, but leaving the ...
... still present, subsequent clicking on that "Special Characters" ("Ω") thing opens up the Greek page again, not the 'Latin' one.
... so goodness knows why we are experiencing different behaviours.
Would anyone else care to tell us what they are experiencing?>
Kind Regards, John
Yes, each time I click on 'Special Characters' it opens the 'Latin' page

As I said, I'd be interested to hear whether other people are experiencing the same as you (and different from what I'm experiencing)

But then there are choices once you click on the special characters menu.
If I pick a special character, it publishes my post, before I've finished writing it!
For reference, I only post on here from my Android phone - and I have no idea if anyone else has the same issue!
That's why it's far easier for me to write mm2, instead of
...and then I have to edit the post
...and it still doesn't work, so I settle for Ohms!
It happens as soon as I press the icon for any other page of symbols...

Unless it changed since I dabbled, it appears you are not using the App or not got it set to 'mobile' or something. It must be 10 years since I used a phone for this so I really don't know what changes have happened.

None of those work for me, apart from ALTCR 234 producing a €.
Can I offer a suggestion? If you copy and paste all of the symbols you might frequently use in this forum, into your sig line, add a post or start a thread, post it, then click edit - your sig complete with symbols, available to copy and paste.

As I said, I cannot speak for (and have not been writing about) anything other than Windows, but it sounds as if what you are experiencing with Android is the same that eric reported when he wrote:

That doesn't surprise me -as I wrote,m these things appear very dependent on the OS and its configuration.
One could do that. However, it's only really an issue if one wants to use the same symbol multiple times in a post and, as i said,is such cases I do the 3/4 clicks just once, and then "copy + (multiple) paste" to all the places I need it, which is only fractionally more complicated or time-consuming than what you suggest.

Thank you, you've just prompted me to experiment.
Yes, I dont use the App.
It's the same result when I use different browsers.
However, swapping to the desktop site works properly, but is completely unusable on a 5 3/4" screen!
Thank you for pointing that out, and apologies to Eric, for not noticing that in his post.
Ah. Maybe that's why I've been keeping away from Windows 11 !
... and, anyway, what happened to the assertion we once heard that Windows 10 would be "the last ever version of Windows" ?
Kind Regards, John
