Is this a new feature

[font style="font-family:'Georgia','Baskerville Old Face','Helvetica',fantasy;" size=4 color=teal]I noticed that when I post anything with an ^ symbol right next to a captial letter it I get a Hillary Clinton like logo.

For instance

^L^O^S^T = ^L^O^S^T

Not complaining, I think it is pretty cool. Just curious if I ran across something new or if I am just behind the curve as usual.

ETA: If you need to use the caret before a letter (or posting an excerpt that does), you can change it to its html entity to make it not become a Hillvetica letter. Like this:

^A = ^A

NOTE: if you use html characters, the preview screen turns them into the actual characters - so don't hit the Post button from the preview screen (that will defeat the whole purpose of using html entities). Go back in your browser to the non-preview screen and hit Post from there.

I should look into general more regularly.

Thank you very much![/font]
