The comment I respondend to talked about characters that are already encoded.
Sorry, I didn't get that.
In simpler words, you cannot use the needs of discussions about encoding
(the meta-level) to determine encodings.
Discussing arabic versus latin numerals is not more meta-level that
talking about upper vs. lowercase.
Yes indeed. If these distinctions were only necessary when talking
*about* these characters (meta-level) rather than when just using them
(non-meta), then I would indeed agree that there is no reason to encode
them separately.
Regards, Martin.
