I wasn't trying to, but gathering arguments. The character(s) are not
new, the encoding(s) would be :-) The characters are not newer than the
realisation of an en-dash not being a hyphen, and they are more distinct
from their encoded possible look-alikes than a minus is from an en-dash.

何か? This is *not* about Verdana etc. but rather

Perhaps there might be a need to explain "turned" and "reversed" in the
http://www.unicode.org/glossary/
to be provided not beyond but alongside the Standard? As they are not in
the General Index either it is hard to determine the specific meanings
as well as they may be defined. Searching the site as suggested in the
Index yields many results using but not defining these terms. The
Contents of the Standard also seems the wrong place to look for the
definitions. Am I just looking in the wrong places? or just not
expressing a sufficient amount of enthusiasm in the process? :-)
