For my part, I only said: > I always assumed that ARMENIAN in the name of these characters > referred to the script with which they are usually used, not the > country of Armenia. I didn't say the symbols WERE an integral part of the Armenian script, but that they were usually used WITH it. Claims that the Unicode-assigned name of a character, script, or block is biased or racist or prejudiced against a certain group never get very far with me, I'm afraid. -- Doug Ewell | Thornton, Colorado, USA http://www.ewellic.org | @DougEwell
