I know what my symbol or character looks like, but I don't know what the command is or which math alphabet it came from. How do I go about finding this out?

I'm wondering about the best way to do an explicit space character (I don't even know what it's properly called), like the ones you get in the \begin{verbatim*} environment. The closest I've found is  \sqcup   in math mode, but it seems like a bit of a hack to me. Is there any text symbol for what I'm looking for?

If I type ' (single quote, next to the &lt;enter&gt; button) in the terminal and then press enter it drops to a &gt; prompt.  What exactly is this, what's it used for, and what type of commands can I enter here?    I can &lt;Ctrl-C&gt; out of it but that's all I got.

Is it possible to tell (La)TeX to adjust the kerning of a specific character combination?  For example, suppose I want !! to be typeset as !\kern 1.2pt!, just like ff is automatically turned into a ligature, or -- is converted to an en-dash.  I know I could create a command for this combination&mdash;I am asking for a way to just type !! and have it use my desired kerning.

I found that the rendering xxx**yyy**zzz as xxx*&lt;i&gt;yyy&lt;/i&gt;*zzz is by-design, but for latin letters it works identical both in preview and after posting. But this is not so for cyrillic letters.  In  I marked two letters inside a word using double asterisks:  (this is like sailors say комп**а**с, while non-sailors say к**о**мпас).   In edit preview it is shown as bold:        But in the post itself it is shown as italic between asterisks:        Changing double-asterisks to double-underscore yields the same result both for preview and after posting:        So this looks like a bug with processing the highlighting of cyrillic characters in preview mode.  Note: This is not a duplicate of  post. This post is about bug, linked post is about (1) removing the feature on non-programming sites or (2) different processing of ** and __ highlighting.

My Polish grandmothers last name was Dziubenofska, but I know that's not how it is spelt! I'm looking for the proper spelling.   Can you help find it for me?  She came over to Ellis Island and they changed it on her to dziuk. This is only a prefix to the full name.

Please, do you know if there's any possibility how to use the listings package together with XeLaTeX? I have to use XelaTeX and therefore I have UTF-8 encoded files. This is not compatible with listings which allows one-byte encoding. (I know there is listingsutf8 package, but it converts files from UTF-8 which I don't need.)  The listings package works somehow, bu I only can use English letters. I've fond some solution like a list of special characters (  ) but it seems it works only for some letters. It there anything that would support UTF-8 in listing 'naturally'?

I'm trying to write a single backslash in a comment as code formatted by backtick. Like this:  `\`   but it escapes the backtick and doesn't close the "inline code block".  I've read  but couldn't figure out.  How do I format a single backslash in comment as code?

Many command-line tools (grep, flex, etc.) use the ^ symbol to denote "beginning of line" and the $ symbol to denote "end of line." When did this convention arise? It seems perfectly reasonable to reserve two characters for these purposes, but it's a bit odd that on modern keyboards the $ symbol is to the left of the ^ symbol.  Is this a completely arbitrary decision? Does this come from some older keyboard layout? Is this convention used because some older tool decided to do things this way?  Regardless of the answer, are there primary sources that document this?

I would like to type Hebrew in Ubuntu. I tried downloading the Hebrew language pack and then setting alt-shift as my layout-change shortcut in the Options section of "Keyboard Layout".  However, when I actually press alt-shift, nothing happens. How can I switch my keyboard layout to Hebrew?

I want to assign some text to F keys on Windows 7.     For example, I want to press F5 to paste "000", or press F6 to paste ".00 US Dollars".  It would be appreciated if anyone can help me (a piece of software or code).

Is there a way to type something in a comment that renders like this?     You'll need to escape it with a backslash - that is, the \ character.   I've tried various combinations, but a single backslash formatted as code seems to be impossible. Can this be fixed, or can I be enlightened please?  And to clarify: I expect this:  You'll need to escape it with a backslash - that is, the `\\` character.   to work properly, but it doesn't. Instead, one backslash escapes the ` and I'm left with a mess.
