Ciao PMario

Right. But beyond 16 it looks like *A* character it isn't exactly that. But 
glad you'd be happy with that.

Sure there are many pairs not to use because of common usage already. That 
still leaves a lot of Unicode pairs available. There are more than I 
pointed too.

My POINT, I think, was IF we took Unicode more seriously *pairing would be 
so much easier*.

There are two issues in our context ...

1 - does the end user need to see what the author used? My guess is that 
they *don't.* 
I mean we are doing this to make WRITING easier. But most READERS won't be 
writers so will never need to see the markup glyphs.

2 - font support is a very complex issue. It is extremely difficult to 
determine what glyphs are available visually universally (because of 
sophisticated OS substitutions). HOWEVER, I made the point that in many 
cases it is ONLY the author who needs to have them supported by a font.
