Hi, I am not sure which is correct, as I have seen both in use.

Assuming you mean to use a "ĝ" instead of a "ø", both are correct.

I have been taught to use oranĝkolora. The word oranĝa relates primarily to the fruit.

(RiotNrrd, as you might know, the ø (ASCII 0248) is actually "ĝ" in the ISO 8859-3 codepage).

Yeah, I was going to say, looks like Bri_ is using Latin-3.

Bri, I suggest the software Ek! if you want to type Esperanto in a way that it'll look correct on most people's computers:

Ek! is great, but AFAIK there is only a version for Windows. Linux users can rely on SCIM and the m17n package. This link might be useful.

I wondered if something like that might not be the case, but didn't know for sure. My experience with alternate code-pages is mighty slim.

It's sort of a sign of how long you have lived in "Esperantujo online", your familiarity with Latin-3 symbols. Before Unicode became so widely supported, latin-3 was common on the internet, as a way of showing Esperanto without resorting to the x-convention or the h-convention. Esperanto speakers who made a lot of use of the internet at that time would be familiar with how latin-3 Esperanto characters looked when displayed in latin-1. You used to have to manually change the encoding of your browser to properly read a page, if it wasn't set to load automatically.

Off-hand, I remember that a fraction 1/4 is the letter ĵ.

Not necessarily online... my previous laser printer wouldn't print unicode symbols, but was more than happy to oblige me when I used Latin-3.

Hi, actually I am using esptype, is ek better?

I have never heard of EspType before. Does it have an option in the settings to use Unicode letters rather than latin-3? If so, then choose the Unicode setting. If it doesn't have this setting, you might want to switch to Ek!, since Ek! seems to be supported more widely (I have never had the letters show up wrong when typing them anywhere)

They are both free anyway, so try out both and see which you prefer.
