Yes. Roman alphabet that is. But Greek Alphabet is no stranger here in Japan (They all exist in JIS X 0208). Any high school students have to learn to spell theta to mean angle (but I am not sure how many can spell all 24 of them, however). JIS X 0208 even contains Cyrillic Alphabet but this one is hardly used (I wonder why it didn't include Hebrew; At least Mathematicians use Aleph :) You can see them all via URL below; http://kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yasuoka/CJK/jisx0208-1990.gif > I can just about remember all of the Greek Alphabet (from a science > education).

Larry may make such perl script possible with Perl6....(Well, actually it is already available since perl 5.6.x with a little help of source filter but you have to try a little bit hard) Dan the Man with Too Many Characters.
