That's right, Don, but isn't grapheme the more general term? Unicode.org http://www.unicode.org/glossary/ offers "what the user thinks of as a character". So shouldn't that be "two glyphs representing one grapheme"?
Different glyphs can have the same code point, eg one can be italicised. But in the example I gave, the two Mu's actually have different code points. In some fonts they've gone and used the same glyph. Jqt801 seems to come with the session set up to use Menlo. But on my Mac, Menlo does in fact show Domino. u: 16b2339 ⌹ You could try Courier or Courier New instead. But if that fails use APL385 Unicode, which has definitely got Domino. To change the font, type into Term: open '~user/config/qtide.cfg' Then change: FontFamily=Menlo to: FontFamily=APL385 Unicode If you haven't got APL385 Unicode installed, see: http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/IanClark/APLChars -which lets you download it.
