Bobbi Hennessey wondered: <<I am searching for a symbol - it is used to
measure wavelength and looks like a little triangle that sits on the
line.>>
Since the context is wavelengths, I suspect you're trying to describe
the Greek lambda (the lower-case version is more common than the
capital you're describing, and looks kinda like a giraffe seen from the
side <g>), but have a look at my cheat sheets of standard keyboard
shortcuts for Mac and Windows to see if the character is in there. You
can find them as the last two links on the following page:

Note to nitpickers: Yes, I've listed the Greek characters in _English_
alphabetical order. That's both for mnemonic reasons (easier to
remember the shortcuts) and because few people these days know the
correct alphetical order in Greek.
