Weird issue of websites not accepting password on cell phone

So I made a password on a website from a computer, and I'm able to log in fine from computers, but not from my iPhone SE. I've checked to make sure it's the right password on the phone, and it is but I'm still having issues. It works fine on different Windows-based PCs on different ISPs, using different browsers, but not on the iPhone. As an experiment I used the same password on different sites and I have the same problem. I won't say what the password is for obvious reasons, but it contains letters (capital and lowercase), numbers, "@" and "<". It is a rather long password (the main site I use it on required a long password) Any idea what would cause this bizarre issue? Perhaps it's some strange issue with the iPhone keyboard? 71.208.122.224 (talk) 00:23, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

You mentioned you have the same problem with the same password on different websites on the iPhone. But are you able to login with a different password on the iPhone with at least one and maybe more or those websites? Nil Einne (talk) 11:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Haven’t had the problem with Outlook in the past with other passwords. 73.27.21.106 (talk) 17:56, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Ornament characters (ornm) in Libre Office

Hi, how do I insert/ use Opentype ornament (ornm) characters in Libre Office? Thanks

I have LibreOffice v 6.4.7.2 running on Lubuntu.

Click on the Insert tab, then click Special Character.... Using the Font: drop-down, select a font that has the required characters. The characters in that font will be shown in the box below. For fonts with many characters, there is another dropdown Subset: that allows you to choose a specific type of character; if you are lucky, one of those types will be 'Ornamental' or something similar.-- Verbarson  ^talk_edits 21:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

What parts of modern home electronics exceed the hertz of their CPU?

Do they still sometimes run part of an x GHz CPU at 2x GHz like they did with Pentium 4? And lots of things use double data rate or quadruple data rate to make something productive happen more than once per square wave.

2. Why is RAM still DDR? Difficulty? Low need? (QDR-12800 could theoretically transfer 102.4 GB per RAM module to and/or from the CPU in 1 second). Graphics DDR6 apparently uses octuple data rate and QDR on slower internal clocks. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 22:22, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
