Well, the GETA MARK goes back to hot-lead typography, and means "character is not in the physical font". In such circumstances, there is no question of encoding, so the distinction between #1 and #2 collapses. In any event, John Hudson's glyph is inspired by GETA MARK but looks different. -- John Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan http://www.reutershealth.com Charles li reis, nostre emperesdre magnes, Set anz totz pleinz ad ested in Espagnes.
