In menus for "...", should one use ellipsis sign or just three dots?

Question

Microsoft's reference (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511502.aspx#ellipses) doesn't say anything, but it seems that currentle everyone uses three dots (...) and not the unicode sign (…).

Is it OK, or maybe there are some guidelines I'm not aware of that recommend using the unicode sign?

Answer 1

I think it's safer to use three dots, because some fonts/systems might not interpret correctly the '...' single character.
