Or my fav, the TEXAS-SHAPED BULLET on Texas license plates. My wife's from Texas; I'll back that one. ;-) http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/txplates/ Note that this bullet started out as a star U+2605, but in 1975, in another important Act of the Texas Legislature, was changed to the now-famous TEXAS-SHAPED BULLET. Maybe the TxDOT databases would be served by having that encoded as a Unicode character. --Ken
