By the same token, the puncta extraordinaria may or may not be accents, but their status as characters is not in doubt; likewise Pluto's reality as a significandum. In any event, several of the asteroids have symbols as well: at least Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, and Juno, the Big Four of the main belt. See Koch's _Book of Signs_. -- LEAR: Dost thou call me fool, boy?
