This started to annoy me. If the symbols in Unicode make a political statement by being there, then Unicode supports Christianity (U+2626 and others), anti-Christianity (U+FB29), Islam (U+262a), Hippies (U+262e), Communism (U+262d), and Dharma (U+2638). But somehow the symbol of a minor American social movement is unacceptable because it makes a social statement. If that were true (the actual reason it's not encoded is because it's not used), then I would be highly offended. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED], dvdeug/jabber.com (Jabber) Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org When the aliens come, when the deathrays hum, when the bombers bomb, we'll still be freakin' friends. - "Freakin' Friends"
