Text Messages: Lacking the % percent key!
I just tried to send a text message on my mobile phone using the percent character (%). Turns out, on my phone at least, I can't insert a percent - although I can insert a Yen, a copyright symbol, a registered trademark, a degree symbol and an enter symbol. Why not a percent? Is this just my phone, or are text messages restricted to exclude the percent character?
Fortunately the person I was sending to is a LaTeX user, so \perc worked just fine.
Update: I just got a reply from them, saying "Thanks, I didn't know how to insert a % into latex". So not only were they unaware of \perc, or \%, they also know how to add % to a text message!
