And never have been represented thus since. In their day, there were probably a lot more documents using LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ANTISIGMA and LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H LEFT HALF than one, yet they are not encoded either.

It makes sense because others used STRETCHED C (and indeed it was part of the standard for a while), but no one has used OWL before or since. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be yourself.
