Masataka, you write >That problem of Unicode is technical, not political. >Just as characters in Greek and English are different, characters in >Japanese and Chinese are different and should be assigned different >code points, if we need to use Unicode without furthur specification. It seems to me that English and Greek characters need separate code points because their visual appearance is significantly different, not because they are from different languages. Do characters from different languages that have identical appearances need separate code-points? If so, why? For sorting purposes? For equality comparison? - Dan Kegel (dank@blacks.jpl.nasa.gov) --Boundary (ID uEbHHWxWEwCKT9wM3evJ5w)
