What does this symbol: ⇧ mean? It looks like a shift sign (up arrow) in the edit field, but in the browser (gecko-ish) it looks like a compressed T. — Sverdrup 19:53, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It looks identical to the shift-key symbol, used in a Macintosh computer's menu items. Perhaps a better choice would be a simple up-arrow ↑, or if the mouse target is too small, it could be an arrow surrounded by non-breaking spaces ↑ .
[edit] Cite
The arrow was italicised (at least in Firefox), so I changed this (by setting font-style to inherit) because I thought it looked odd: more like a north-north-east arrow than an up arrow.
The italicisation occurred because the arrow is wrapped in cite tags: would these not be more appropriate around a reference title, rather than the arrow? The arrow’s not really citing that part of the article, is it? – it’s just referring back to it, at least as I see it.
