Thx for the response.<br>
<br>
Just tried your suggestion, but the docbook-to-tex conversion (jw)
rejects ‽ as a valid entity. And using the decimal
version, ‽, produces:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>\Seq%<br>
{}\Character{8220}What\Character{8253}\Character{8221}\endSeq{}\<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
\Character{8220} and \Character{8221} both accept the decimal
encoding, so I assume there's nothing inherently wrong with
\Character{8253} in decimal.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

\symbol{"203D} should work in math, so presumably
\Character{"203D}
<br>
is the equivalent for text.

the SGML to PDF

goes through pdftex, but pdftex doesn't seem to understand
\Character{8253}
<br>
and renders it as "<8253>". I'm reasonably sure that the
font I'm using

contains that character.

More or less guessing what I'm doing, I've done what I think
needs to happen
<br>
to incorporate the font I modified to include the
interrobang--run mktexlsr,
<br>
updmap-user, and updmap -sys--but the problem persists.
<br>
<br>
So my questions are, is this really because pdftex doesn't
understand
<br>
\Character{8253}, and is there anything I can do to increase its
<br>
understanding?

Thanks,
