But it isn't GESCHUETZTE SORTE in its specific meaning. Neither is U+24C8. The difference is the same as the difference between U+0052 U+20DD or U+24C7 from U+00AE REGISTERED SIGN. GESCHUETZTE SORTE belongs to a class of special characters with a legal meaning (like COPYRIGHT SIGN and SOUND RECORDING COPYRIGHT SIGN, two name two others of this class). > > http://www.uni-mainz.de/~knappen/gp_p159.jpg > > Hm, the bug in the bottom line could be also included -- it would be > of great use in computer programming litterature.

There are about a dozen common gardening symbols used in german publications for decades now and they are worth a proposal. --J"org Knappen
