Hi Bill and Waldek,
Thanks for both your replies, I take your point that you are trying to
simplify the code rather than make it more complex. I just thought
that, if I'm going to mention it, better to do it while people are
working on the code.

I didn't realise this until you both mentioned it, definitely a hack
and far from ideal, but its useful to know about this.

Exactly!

I don't quite understand this. Just so that I am completely clear
about this, are you saying that SPAD and Lisp can handle Unicode but
command line I/O is the only thing preventing this?
Although this is non-ideal, I can certainly live with this issue (by
using the hacks that you mentioned and if required I can hack my own
local copy of html formatter) however I would be quite surprised if I
am the only one who has wanted to uses non-ascii characters with
FriCAS. Is there a list of known issues for new users where all these
workarounds could be put in one place?
Come to think of it, is there a wish-list for FriCAS? I could think of
a long list, but perhaps I should keep quiet, I suspect you won't
agree with most of them?
