Well, then I am proposing to introduce such a character. U+FFFD could be used, but then why repeat the mistake of assigning two roles to a single codepoint. U+FFF0? My proposal for its rendering would be an overline. 7.1.2 of UTS #10 would state that U+FFF0 must have the highest possible collation weight for any language (collation). I don't have a specific need for such a character. It simply occurred to me that it may prove to be useful to have it. If not for developers, then for end users. Maybe for those who want to be the last in a telephone directory (assuming it's in Unicode;), or for those who want a file to appear at the bottom of a folder. Which is what I once wanted to have, hence the idea. Lars Kristan
