That's interesting. Does it have a name there? Do you know of a name for it anywhere else? | You aren't going to get this as a single character. We write | i.e. with four characters, we write .i. (used in Ireland) with three | characters; you can certainly write 9: with two characters. Hmmm. I accept Marco's statement that while it's a single symbol, it doesn't necessarily have to be a single character. What is the rule for deciding whether a single symbol needs one or more characters? What happens if I find a font that has this as a single character, for example? -- Lars Marius Garshol, Ontopian <URL: http://www.ontopia.net > ISO SC34/WG3, OASIS GeoLang TC <URL: http://www.garshol.priv.no >
