========================================================
1. In the suffix rule, did you include a subrule that specifies the Zapf
Dingbats font for the suffix character? If you didn't, then the resulting
prefix in the "final document" will contain the atilde character (ã), which
is the ANSI number 227 character in the Standard Character Set.  

2. The on-line manual for Character sets tells you the ANSI number, the hex
code, and th key sequence for entering upper ASCII characters, using the
Standard Character Set, the Symbol Character Set, or the Zapf Dingbats
character set.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: When you type the prefix character into the prefix rule in the EDD, DO
NOT use the ANSI number method (i.e., ALT+0227). Instead use the key sequence:

Control-q b

This is the key sequence that produces the dingbat character you desire. You
will note that, when you use that key sequence to enter the character as the
prefix, it appears as the quotesinglbase (‚) having ANSI number 130 in the
standard character set. But the application of the Zapf dingbats character
format specified in the format subrule of the prefix rule converts it to the
character you want.
