Not at all. As I've told you before (and you agreed before), it's just as much a fallacy to suppose that Unicode character names carry no information as to suppose that they carry complete information. The truth is somewhere between: most names are helpful, a few names are partially misleading (but not totally so). As for FHTORA, it's annoying, but I don't see how it can be read as anything but FTHORA if you know anything about Greek at all, which is probably why it was overlooked until it was too late. -- You escaped them by the will-death John Cowan and the Way of the Black Wheel.
