I thought the discussion started well, but there didn't seem to be any
simple answer unless Olaf Barthel gets involved. AmigaOS itself needs
Unicode support and it is hard to add this without upsetting existing
programs.
It is something to think hard about for a few weeks.

Pagestream has lower-case alpha, beta and gamma as 945, 946 and 947. I
think these should be the Unicode numbers as PGS supports Unicode.
