Information finding (weather, unicode)

[rochvelleth]

I'm trying to find out what the temperatures were (in the East Anglia region) this time last year. Does anyone know a good way of finding these out? I've tried the Met Office website, but so far found nothing that isn't about predicting the future

Weather here last year

Try this site:

and scroll down to the historical data section.

Wow, thank you - that's exactly what I wanted. Good old Cambridge :)

I can tell you a fair bit about Unicode but unfortunately nothing about MS Word. But I'd expect it to use Unicode natively (Microsoft are fairly heavily committed to it) and be happy to use any properly installed font.

Implemented? That's a technical and rather messy question... also, it probably wasn't invented when you were at school!

http://www.fileformat.info/tip/microsoft/enter_unicode.htm gives some directions for entering unicode characters in Word, if that helps.

Nah, she's heaps younger than us. And wikipedia says (so it must be true) that unicode 1.0 was around when I was at school, so I can't be that old either ;-).

But I'll second the "Er, are you *really* sure that you want to know the implementation details?!" sentiment.

...or do you just want to know how to install a font that happens to have the characters that you are after so you can use them?

If you do, this is quite good: http://joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
