Thanks Doug. I did not know there exists a representative sample of

There is not, which was the point.
Thanks for reposting a private message back to the list, by the way. π’
Your frequency chart is great. The average char appearance is 2.91%.
Only 34% from your list exceed 10% of it. Therefore, U+0020 is the
elephant in the room (ie. 15%.05% is far > 2.91%). In fact, it's
almost >50% greater than the next most-appearing character.
Words in English are separated by spaces, and the average English word
is about 5 letters long. It follows that English text will contain a lot
of spaces. You can eyeball this.
Only 34% from your list exceed 10% of the average percentile (2.9%).
This is serendipitously common (eg. the Earth:Moon albedo ratio is
.36). A relationship about motion and other natural properties and
charactetristics among the local texts begin to emerge.
Right.
