It's not that hard, try: http://rx-2.com And you said:

Now, I haven't worked in pharmaceuticals, but I've worked in most European countries. So it's probably just me, but I've _never_ come across the Rx symbol before. I don't think it's as global as you think.

Okay, please permit me some literary license -- after all, this is my retirement plan. :-) My source for my claim is simply and directly taken from Unicode -- that's THE authority on global glyphs. I am also positive that every Pharmaceutical company in the world recognizes that symbol. Now, does everyone in the world recognize the symbol -- I don't know. But I do know that IF there is a global Pharmaceutical symbol, then it would be listed in the Unicode database and this is the only symbol that's there. What do you think about the yin-yang symbol? http://xn--w4h.com I think one billion Chinese know that one. I just hope that I don't have to wait until one billion Chinese have PC's to find a buyer. :-) Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
