Yes, for the proposals of new unique characters, they won't be confused with traditional marks like bullets, etc. All I was responding to was the sentence that a user has to know that a character cannot be displayed. I thought you were saying this about existing situations. If you meant that as a requirement for a new glyph, yes I thoroughly agree it should be distinct from anything in use today. tex -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin cell: +1 781 789 1898 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Xen Master http://www.i18nGuy.com XenCraft http://www.XenCraft.com Making e-Business Work Around the World -------------------------------------------------------------
