Perhaps they're after your Lucky Charms?

a red star, not a red box... oh well.. thanks for the reply, but some reason I don't know why I can't seem to replicate the star on my computer.

on another website one could denote
:star:

and a red star would appear...

Maybe it's a character-set thing.

No problem. You could always use an image instead of HTML code, if you wanted.

There's no standard character in HTML 4 like hearts or spades or what have you. But a couple of unicode characters work and should show up in IE and probably FireFox.

9733 = ★
9734 = ☆

XML encodings should support bigstar and starf as well, but these don't appear to work in any browser I tried.

I posted that earlier, and those characters displayed as boxes on his screen.

I see that star . . . other people don't?

The heart is, I assume, from the ISO "Suits" characters:

&amp;hearts; ===> &hearts;
&amp;diams; ===> &diams;
&amp;clubs; ===> &clubs;
&amp;spades; ===> &spades;
