In the PostgreSQL 7.1 Tutorial, filename relmodel-oper.html, the HTML special characters ∣ and ∖ are used. They are not recognized by either Netscape 4.76 or IE 5.5 and I cannot find them in any of my HTML reference books.

Yes, I see that too. I also see mentions of π and σ.
My guess is that they were added to generate proper PDF/Postscript. I
just checked the PDF and Postscript for this in 7.1. Some of the
symbols are OK, but many are not right, like o` for SIGMA. It seems
that is not working 100% either.
Guys, how should we handle these?

We define an expansion for them. E.g.,
ENTITY setmn "\"
