Interesting page.

Unicode is not really easy and in J it needs explanation.

I liked this phrase:

"Turn your IQ philco down to approx. 60 and let's go..."

I think we do need to get J for dummies in order to lower the threshold into
J.

Regarding J and Unicode we need more examples of going back and forth
between different codes and fonts using J codes.

Your page does a good job of starting such examples.
