Check your code.  If Letter.P == 'P' and so on, then
Letter.P + Letter.H + Letter.I + Letter.L == 'ĭ'

Subject: Re: [The Java Posse] Re: File.separator question

IMO if you agree that "/" works in all relevant cases, then using a
new constant doesn't make any more sense than saying a comma separated
list should be build using a "Punctuation.COMMA" constant.  Or my name
should start with a "Letter.P" constant.

Just my opinion,

Letter.P + Letter.H + Letter.I + Letter.L
