How do I enter a greater than or less than symbol ? How do I enter does not equal symbol ? If you can add any other 'problematic' keyboard entries it would be greatly appreciated.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use the character map, but it may not have everything you're looking for. So I recommend that you simply use the following:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Square root: type sqrt(6) to denote $\"sqrt%286%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Exponent: type x^3 (shift + 6 to get the ^ symbol) to get $\"x%5E3\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pi: This is just pi. You can also find this in the character map.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Greater than symbol: Simply use \">\" (without quotes)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Less than symbol: Use \"<\" (without quotes)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Does not equal (or not equal) symbol: Either use =/= or <> to represent something like $\"1%3C%3E2\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In addition to square roots, you have other nth roots (eg cube roots). I'd suggest you type root(3,x) to write out $\"root%283%2Cx%29\"$ . Fourth roots would then be root(4,y) to get $\"root%284%2Cy%29\"$ etc.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, there is the greater than or equal to symbol. So to write out $\"x%3E=3\"$ , just type x >= 3. In reverse, the less than or equal symbol

is typed out as \"<=\" (without quotes). For instance, to type $\"y%3C=5\"$ , write y <= 5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I'm sure that there are a ton of other things that you can't directly enter from the keyboard, but nothing else is coming to mind. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
