Hello. The specified character in question is a Unicode character, and is a character which encodes a zero width space. That means, it permits the layout algorithm to break the text (in this case, the chemical name) at those points, without changing the visual appearance of the text whatsoever. Technically, if it does appear as a box (which marks an unreadable/unsupported character in browsers, usually) then either your browser is not capable of displaying Unicode text, or your system is not capable of handling it correctly, or your font is something weird... I am unsure, perhaps I should ask someone else to check the page out and tell me whether they see those boxes as well. Perhaps you could do that too, as well as checking your browser settings whether Unicode is set, or autodetect is set.

Hello, I noticed that you said that the insertion of 'psychological' harm in the first graf of this piece is inaccurate. I believe you are wrong. PTSD can result from trauma that is either physical or psychological in nature. Regards, MarmadukePercy ( talk) 01:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
We've talked about this before a bit, on the PTSD talk page. I finally got my thinking together, and have deleted the section. I carefully listed the reasons for this action, on the talk page. Thought you'd be interested, as you have previously expressed approval of this idea. I will say that that section annoyed my seriously for months, until today. Now...on to much more work on the article. TomCloyd ( talk) 04:53, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm. It took 7 hours for someone to restore the deletion. So, an argument has started about this. The restorer's reasoning was shabby at best. I re-deleted the material. Feel free to jump into the fray if it suits you! TomCloyd ( talk) 09:56, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
