The Standard contains several special mathematics characters, such as, for example, A (italic "A"). But I thought of some letters that might not be fully supported: Let's say that you find a formula like this in some Swedish book:

mf�gel = 1 kg

This means that a bird ("f�gel" in Swedish) has the mass of 1 kg. How would the italic be encoded? As "a ring-above"? OK, this might work (though it might be necessary to add a new property for the ring-above character. But what about other languages such as, for example, Danish?

mfugl = 1 kg ��would work, but what about

m25 �re = 1 g ��(the mass of a Danish 25 �re coin)

?

How would the italic "" be encoded? I'm not sure for exactly which characters this occurs, but I know that the Swedish letters "", "", and "" can theoretically be used as variables (though you rarely use them for that purpose), meaning that they should be italic. I do not know what the other mathematical characters (bold, double-struck, etc.) are used for, so I can't tell if any of these letters might appear in any of those styles.

I'm not sure how important this is for encoding; if I've understood everything right, the main reason for having italics encoded is to making difference between "cos" (cos) and "cos" (cosine function).
