Hey Steve, whatever happened to the old masculine and feminine symbols?  Are

we now so politically correct that those have been deleted from our lexicon?

Where such an item is defined in the Windows fonts, it appears as a lower 
case superscript a(ª ) for feminine and o( º) for masculine.  It also 
appears that the rest of the alchemy symbols are missing.  I don't see any 
of them showing up in System, Symbol, Wingdings, or any other font.

It's not that I ever used them, it's just that I didn't realize that they're

gone.  If anybody receives this message on their computer with the old 
masculine and feminine symbols showing inside the parentheses in the above 
paragraph, I'd sure like to know about it.

Larry
