Just a final note on the 'half' symbol. I was wrong to criticise TLG in stating that this symbol is omitted in their reproduction of the texts. They represent the text in Beta-code, http://www.tlg.uci.edu/BetaCode.html and this certainly has the 'half' in a variety of forms.
The problem is rather: when are Unicode going to include the great many symbols covered in Betacode so that TLG files can be converted to Unicode ? I understand that they hope to have this conversion in about two years.
