I agree with a few others that this is mainly a font issue over anything else. For the same reason should we have a character that ensures one's are properly serifed to avoid confusion with lower case L's? What about 1's and 7's? What about uppercase I and lowercase L? And god knows how many cases of this will arise with internationalization and 16bit characters! I think the one thing we should assume when designing pages is that the font used is reasonably accurate in distinguishing characters. __ | Check Out Our HTML Editor at http://bigpic.com/mortar/ | Neil St.Laurent neil@bigpic.com | Big Picture Multimedia
