Hitting the "^" followed by "SPACE" will give you "^" - but you probably
knew that.
I think this is exactly as it should be - "^" is a kind of decoration (that
"^" alone you just decorate an empty space.

I guess I'm in the minority then, by only using ^ for the power operator and
as the reference thingy in .net.

Shouldn't that technically be "↑"? It's just that the original ASCII
standard included "^" (why?) but not "↑". Or that's how I heard it. In
books it's usually written as a superscript or as "↑", but never, ever
as "^" except in programming languages...

...which use it because of the historic ASCII standard.

Does that mean it skips some characters?

It's also a caret. If it got replaced, I imagine it got replaced the same
time left-arrow got replaced by underline.

I was using this stuff a year ago to be able to produce properly encoded
files for Google Maps. Worked for me, so case closed.
I did not try and so I don't know for sure. I would guess negative numbers
map to 32767+. Maybe this is an error in Microsoft's documentation. It
seemed strange to me, too, but I did not use negative numbers, so why
bother?
MS is somewhat notorious for misleading and faulty docs. I remember somebody
saying that the docs for MS WinWord were less a manual but more a work of
fiction. ;-)

My VIC 20 had the ? - which was very useful when programming any game with
ASCII graphics. It made a nice missile. ;-)

...so I'm guessing there was some kind of encoding error with this post.
But I get what you're saying anyway. ;-)
I seem to recall that several 8-bit home computers had codes 128-255
identical to codes 0-127, but with the colours inverted.

This shows us the joys of different encodings. ;-)
In my websites I changed all "?" to "EUR", so my customers can easily use
the contents in different portals without having to worry about encoding.
Copying UTF-encoded symbols and pasting the contents into a CMS is like
playing with a wheel-of-fortune... you can never say what you will get.

That's why all those technologies have entity escapes.
