Ciao PMario & TonyM I'm pretty sure that when Unicode started in 1991 <http://www.unicode.org/history/>there was no idea that the characters would often get later "hi-jacked" for purposes never intended!
What we have in Unicode is a very vigorous standard that is then partially trashed FROM LACK OF ATTENTION TO THE NET AS AN EMERGENT SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE. Meaning, the origin of Unicode completely neglected that the Web was itself a language, deserving a dedicated plane. Its still like that. IMO "we" basically, I mean ALL of us, are using it in a "bent" way a lot of the time. Its got quite like the "Net" before the content/structure ideas emerged into "Web Standards" that cleaned things up.
