RE: Avoidance variants

“It's still a HEH, it just looks like another letter, right?” Wrong. It’s a QOF. Just like the p in receipt is a p. Unicode should not concern itself with the reasons words are spelt the way they are spelt. Best Regards, Jonathan Rosenne From: Unicode [mailto:unicode-boun...@unicod

Avoidance variants

So, not much in the way of discussion regarding the TETRAGRAMMATON issue I raised the other week.  OK; someone'll eventually get to it I guess. Another thing I was thinking about, while toying with Hebrew fonts.  Often, letters are substituted in _nomina sacra_ in or
