This is a test of the features of the phys-l mailer, which was
recently upgraded from listserv(tm) to mailman(tm). This message
uses the utf-8 encoding, as discussed at e.g.
http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/encoding.htm#sec-unicode
All of the following look nice in *my* mailer (Mozilla) and will
probably look fine if you view the archives with a decent browser (if
earlier tests are any guide).
The question is: Are there any mailers or systems out there in
common use that cannot handle utf-8, and/or can't load a font that
has usable glyphs at these codepoints? Please report what works and
what doesn't. If you setup cannot handle utf-8, please invesigate
whether you can upgrade to something that does. (Hint: Thunderbird
is free and reasonably easy to use.) The goal is to build a
consensus as to which symbols can (or cannot) be seen by phys-l
subscribers.
James Clerk Maxwell :
∇ ⋅ E = 4π ρ
∇ × E + 1/c ∂B/∂t = 0
∇ ⋅ B = 0
∇ × B - 1/c ∂E/∂t = 4π c j
Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger :
i ℏ ∂Ψ/∂t = H Ψ
q = 〈Ψ|Q|Ψ〉

Quite a few more glyphs, which you can cut and paste into your
messages if you wish:
