A character is found in line with the text in the same color as the text. Something that's always found in a different color from the rest of the text, or something that's in multiple colors, is a graphic. A hand-written sign isn't terribly interesting for encoding. It's too easy to make idiosyncritic signs, and pretty much anyone that would be useful to encode has already been used on paper or on computer. -- David Starner / Давид Старнэр - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org What we've got is a blue-light special on truth.
