Virginia, this should have been the wavey-equals-sign ("approximately", or two ~ stacked upon one another) but either the copy&paste didn't work for Morgana or the board is not properly processing them. Either way, the HTML-code for the character got printed out on the page instead of the actual character
Thanks for the explanation, Michael. That would have been less jarring than a random (to us html deficient) strew of letters, numbers, and symbols. Although, a part of me wondered why they were necessary in the first place, since there didn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for them. Morgana, were the wavy lines supposed to represent flashback or inner monologue or what?
