04/15: Why did Kanji characters appear in the class schedule? Here is what happened:

	I prepared the assignment list in PowerPoint and then copied the assignments to the forms that update the schedule.
	PowerPoint replaced two hyphens with a long dash character, hex 97. This is an extended character which may be interpreted differently depending on the character set being used.
	The meta tags in the header for my pages did not explicitly specify a character set. Consequently the page was displayed in the default character set.
	Somehow the default character set for the PC in the classroom was set to Japanese or Shift-JIS. In Shift-JIS, a hex 97 character (or any character from hex 81-9F or E0-EF) indicates the start of a two-byte sequence representing a Kanji ideogram.
