I don't think you can do this in alert boxes. There is a way of printing
them directly using a nifty little-known trick if you are using Windows. As
the keyboard only has 104 (or close) keys, you can access the full 256
characters of a font by holding down the right alt key and entering the on
the number pad the numerical code for the character you require:
ie:
¼ is alt+(number pad) 0188
½ = 0189
¾ = 0190
= 0149
é = 0233
© = 0169
= 0153
I've not tried these in an alert box.
