I may have a problem with the character set in my browser. On the
following page,

http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electrom...esistance.html

At the location where it says:

RT = 2.5 + 1 + 3
RT = 6.5 XXXXX

I get something other than ohms.
I have placed XXXXX where the offending part is.

Are other people getting the same mistake?

I've talked to the web master, but he claims it's OK there.

I get 6.7 k ohm (with the omega symbol). The thing is in a Greek character
set. I found this out when I tried to copy/paste into here and then type
something after it...

Weird. I get the capital letter "W" using a Latin 1 character set.

Fine with my view of that link . I get RT = 2.5 + 1 + 3 k Omega even
when pasted to MS Word 2000, however look below when I paste here.

RT = 6.5 kW (W in english is Omega in greek) Omega is Extended ASCII
Table character 234 (http://www.asciitable.com/). Extended ASCII is
NOT AVAILABLE HERE!

Looking at the source code, I see

Font face="symbol"W/font

in the places where the omegas show up in the text. Perhaps the
"symbol" font is unknown/misconfigured in your browser.

A Cut-and-Paste from that webpage to here renders :
"The International Standard (SI) unit of resistance is the ohm,
designated by the Greek letter W."
NOTE - The Capital "W" not the "¥Ø" Symbol
