That's going to vary dramatically from person to person depending on font, screen, eyesight, etc. I'm reading this now in such a font, and I notice the difference between the two characters only if they are near to one another and I'm paying close attention to them. At a glance I find them incredibly difficult to distinguish (if these characters were used for lisp quote and backquote, for instance, it would be absolutely awful). -Phil
