How do you tell a chemist from the general populace? Ask them to pronounce "unionized" (that is, is it "un-ion-ized" or "union-ized")? Is 700-9000 pronounced "seven hundred minus nine thousand" or "seven oh oh dash nine oh oh oh"? Which is part of the reason Unicode doesn't try to handle this problem; there is a Unicode solution, where the minus sign or the en-dash can be used, yet I and many others still use the hyphen-minus. Separating these things have been a mess. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero. _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
