And if we can't...so what? I suggested that it would be good to come up with short ASCII visual representations of SOME of these Unicode characters _for ubb-browse_. You seem to be trying to prove we can't do this for ALL the Unicode characters, but I never said we could do them all. Doing it for just some characters will be useful. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
