I grant that. It is an additional reason why we want features for finding unicode characters that don't depend on their names. For instance, how about a feature that makes a buffer in which there is a succession of pages, each page showing the characters of one Unicode subgroup? (Excluding Korean and Han characters and whatever else ought to be excluded). -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org, www.gnu.org
