Its main purpose is to indicate that a sequence of characters do
not form a collating unit.  However, if one is using a 'monospace' font
to space 'letters' uniformly, i.e. to space collating sequences evenly,
then I suggest it is the appropriate character.

Whereas one needs, in theory at least, something to distinguish
accidental sequences <ch> from the digraph <ch> if one is to avoid
having to use dictionaries to collate.
