Not necessarily, but given the three jokers who submitted it, it might be a fair assumption. *backspaces to heart-dot all the i's* --Ken P.S. For next February 14, I am looking forward to the proposal for the COMBINING PENETRATING NORTH EAST ARROW OVERLAY (aka Cupid's arrow), so that with that and U+2665 we can write proper valentines. Perhaps we also need another extension for the COMBINING GRAPHEME JOINER usage, so that the young women addressed by Michael, Roozbeh, and John's COMBINING HEART combining mark can also use the Cupid's arrow with their combining heart dots over their i's. > > Stefan
