I may have a problem with the character set in my browser. On the

At the location where it says:

RT = 2.5 + 1 + 3
RT = 6.5 XXXXX

I get something other than ohms.
I have placed XXXXX where the offending part is.

Are other people getting the same mistake?

I've talked to the web master, but he claims it's OK there.

A Cut-and-Paste from that webpage to here renders :
"The International Standard (SI) unit of resistance is the ohm,
designated by the Greek letter W."
NOTE - The Capital "W" not the "¥Ø" Symbol
