Hi,Some other character sets, e.g. JIS, don't make any difference between the two "Å," so Unicode added an additional one for backwards compatibility.
One of you mentioned that Unicode is reluctant to make symbols for things like TM, that are really only composed of other characters.
Yet I read on someone's website that there's an Ångstrøm (Or Ångström, I Am Not A Swede) symbol that's exactly identical to the Scandinavian Å.
(An Å is a European O that's there to compensate for the fact that our Scandinavian O sounds like an "Oo". Hey John Cowan, that should really go on your page.)
What's the reason behind this? Is the Å just so cool and exotic that Unicode had to implement it twice?
