MISTER YUCK, actually, should be added to Unicode. Isn't it used on some poisonous cleaning products to warn children? As far as Bytext goes, well, in my opinion, if the author had given as much energy to working on the Unicode standard as he did writing up that thesis of his, perhaps the end of his tweens might have been more fruitful. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
