I think the orignal question is about version tracking of content in a Moodle, rather than changes to the Moodle software itself.

The only part of Moodle with this facilty (as far as I am aware) is the Wiki module that stores a complete history of edits in the standard Wiki manner. For other items very basic tracking is provided by the logs and I believe text resources have a last modified date at the bottom.

More robust version tracking is something that we (Howard Miller and I at Glasgow) have been considering adding to the text resources though it's purely at the conceptual stage at the moment.

Using Firefox on the same machine, I get different results. There are four unicode characters below.

• ɐ 592 0250 open-mid schwa
• ɒ 594 0252 open back rounded
• æ 230 00E6 raised open front unrounded
• ɓ 595 0253 vd bilabial implosive

Ignoring the Safari issue for the time, being I think I'm confusing myself by going back and forth between forums and text resources. I think it's the text resources that have the problems, but the forums, as seen above, seem to be working okay.

edit: ignore me, I just got caught by the caching again, plain text format outputs exactly what you type, so when the characters get encoded, plain text outputs them as ampersand-hash-number-semicolon.

I sure I used to be able to past Unicode characters (like these: ? ? ? ?) into forum posts and text resources. It worked okay apart from the character being replaced with a numerical code if I edited the text later.

However, now when I try it now I only get a ? replacing each character. Has something changed in 1.4 or am I doing something wrong.

This post is in Markdown format. Here are some emoticons:

These emoticons don't seem to get translated into images. This only appears to happen to Markdown formatted posts, though I thought it was happening to others because of another bug I think I've stumbled across:

Changing the post format without editing any text appears not to have any effect. I assume that's because the cache doesn't think anything has changed.

I'm afraid Jeffery's right, you need a Mac to see those 'gelcap' buttons.

You can acheive similar effects on buttons just using some CSS (that site also has some tasteful javascript to make the text on your buttons flash different colors).

The current Moodle HTML won't allow this as there is no way to target a single button, and so every form control on the page changes color together, but this will change in the future.
