Very cute job with Flash AND drives the point home!

Speaking of unicode, here'something I've been wondering about for a long
time:  If unicode is so scrupulously attentive to details of
standardization, why is the naming scheme so haphazard? The names of the
Arabic letters are based on their Arabic *colloquial* names (yeh instead
of ya, heh instead of ha). (Although some random ones are in standard
Arabic, if I remember correctly.)  For example, "Arabic letter Farsi Yeh".
And the use of "Farsi" hasn't been fixed after all the learned debates??
Not that all this is too important in view of the more pressing problems.
Still I'm intrigued!
