Dear Ken

An interesting comparison, if strange means dubious, then the name kstrange should be changed or some of the content removed because many of the characters in the set are not dubious in the least.

You want "dubious"?!

You should see the hundreds of strange characters already encoded in
the CJK *Unified* Ideographs blocks, as recently documented in great
detail by Ken Lunde:

Compared to many of those, a hieroglyph of a man (or woman) holding a
laptop is positively orthodox!

Those characters could also be put into another block for the same script similar to how dubious characters in CJK are included by placing them into "CJK Compatibility Ideographs" for round trip compatibility with source encoding.
