But reducing it to 6 digits silently changes the meaning of \U00000391 from capital alpha to a ^C followed by the digits 91. That's a Bad Thing. Add a new syntax and/or abolish the old, but don't change its meaning. -- You are a child of the universe no less John Cowan than the trees and all other acyclic http://www.ccil.org/~cowan graphs; you have a right to be here. cowan@ccil.org --DeXiderata by Sean McGrath
