Having followed the discussion a while back about representing J
primitives with special symbols like APL instead of staying within
ASCII, I added a field in the Primitives to Mnemonics script to allow
one to easily display J primitives and idioms with unicode symbols of
one's choice. Well, it wasn't really easy. I only found a few unicode
symbols I liked. But it was enough to play with. If you want to try it
yourself look at:

"+/i.5" gives "∑ Integers 5". I never could find an iota that worked. I
don't know if the sigma showed up when you read this message. How to get
specific unicode characters loaded into my computer is still a mystery
to me.
