What good would a private use character do here? The private use area is good for Tengwar, Cirth and Shavian (all of which have multiple fonts using the same private use area encoding.) But there's no huge demand to interchange data with these characters, and the few users are probably going to use something less complex then the private use area. Assuming I scan this book in for Project Gutenberg, I'll probably use something like [3], [4], [4,] and [4,h] for the characters, at least in the ASCII version (and there'd be no reason to post a Unicode version if these characters aren't in Unicode.) It's simple, readable and precise, something your solution only has one of. -- David Starner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Einstein once said that it would be hard to teach in a co-ed college since guys were only looking on girls and not listening to the teacher. He was objected that they would be listening to _him_ very attentively, forgetting about any girls. But such guys won't be worth teaching, replied the great man.
