It displays in notepad like:
58 [] -3000 [] 64,
except the barckets are little squares, i don't know how to type them on my keyboard.



Two things. Notepad in XP, with word wrap enabled has a bug in it, of which I reported to Microsoft. To reproduce the bug, type some text so it wraps along another line, enable word wrap, save the file, then, in the middle of the first line of the file, type something so it causes the text to wrap along and there's the bug, a strange return. Disabling and reenabling wordwrap causes it to be fixed, but the moment you save it again, it happens again. To more thoroughly fix it, use Wordpad.

If you mean to get the  character, which, strangely, doesn't show up in Firefox when I copy it from the character map. There are 5 characters that cause the boxes, , of which don't show up in my browser text input field.... Another case are the characters before 20, such as the return or tab (characters 1F and before). There are two ways to get these special characters. One, and the best way, is to click start > run, then type "charmap.exe" without the quote and okay it. This is the character map. Make sure "Windows Western" or something is chosen rather than unicode as all unicode characters will not show up in the forums. The radical (for square roots) or infinity symbols, for example, comes out like this, √ ∞, even though I didn't type it like that. The other way, which is faster, provided you know what the character is, is to hold the alt key, type four digits, then release the alt key. For example Alt+0247 would give a character you should recognize as well as Alt+0169.
