Quoting Arcane Jill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Of course, back in the days of the ZX80 (a device which, by the way, had
its own custom, non-ASCII character set) and its offshoots, there was
indeed a SPACE LETTER - a character which /looked/ like a space, but
/acted/ like a letter,
Gosh, that brings me back. All those characters that were BASIC keywords
compressed into one octet. How could we have neglected to encode such important
legacy characters, this unnecessarily complicates round-trip conversion between
ZX80s and Unicode.
Can you draft a quick proposal to add these characters in time to submit
it today? Otherwise this kind of proposal might have to wait a whole year.
