Agreed. > http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-14/srfi-14.html SRFI-14 states: char-set:symbol In Unicode, a symbol is any character that has one of the symbol categories in the Unicode character database (Sm, Sc, Sk, or So). and I think that this is intended to be the normative definition. SRFI-14 then proceeds to list the symbols of ASCII and Latin-1, but I interpret that as non-normative, to save the reader the trouble of consulting Unicode. IMHO, anyway. Thanks! Mark
