Errors in Auto-Correct Preferences


Recommended Posts

Looking at the Auto-Correct Preferences I noticed 3 strange default entries:

  1. This entry shows as –- which (I think) is en-dash + hyphen. The actual (and more reasonable) characters that work are -- (hyphen + hyphen), and –- does nothing.
  2. The entry shows as ←- (left arrow character + hyphen). The actual (and more reasonable) characters that work are <- (less-than + hyphen).
  3. This shows as ←> (left arrow character + greater-than). That does nothing. My best guess, <->, also does nothing.

And, just after posting that, I noticed a 4th error:

That shows en-dash + > when the real characters are -> (hyphen + >). Again, the characters shown don't do anything.

You need to type <--> to get the double headed arrow

But as you say they all need looking at

If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
