The first one depends on context - in a sentence, it's a full stop. In a number, it's a decimal point. (And of course in a calculation it's a multiplication sign ;0) Similarly ' could be an apostrophe or an inverted comma.

I checked this with a European friend and he agrees (that they're raised) so I'll concede that point. In my defence, the (very few) times I've had worksheets that used it they did just use a normal full stop (I think - it was some years ago now.)

*Is informed of the alt-codes to do it correctly* •·•·•·•·•·•· Heeheehee. If only my maths teacher had known them :0P (Possibly these sheets were done on a type-writer actually, in which case he should have just used a pen.)
