Well, ISO 3166 does record numerical codes as well for users who want
them, particularly people who don't use the Latin script.

Of course I believe you. If I trust Unicode with the numbering of

Many thanks to all of you for
discussion of this topic.
It gave some planned results, like
better understanding of syntax of the initials in English.
It also gave some unexpected but very
valuable and interesting results, like the way the initials are read in Herbrew,
