Hi Philip D. I prefer to use the ASTERISK "*" as a Namer Dot. In lieu of anything better? Regards, Paul V....
... Paul, the problem I see with this is that in some applications, the asterisk is used also as a formatting aide, i.e. it makes normal print into bold print...
Star Raven incurred the wrath of Bob on Jan 2, by saying ... Note that he was not talking (I don't think) about what *key* to use, rather, what Unicode...
... Exactly. I wanted to know what Unicode character we should use as the namer dot. There are many special marks defined in Unicode. I suspect there is more...
... Oh! okay, silly me. Yes, I think that if there is a dot already, perhaps it should be used instead of the asterisk. As for the long sentance, I have one...
A while ago I had a collection of GIF files that someone (I think Steve Bett) sent to me, with one little GIF file for each Shavian letter. I seem to have...

I was just thinking that someone could make a Shavian-style alphabet in which you would have the 27 Roman characters (the ones used in daily writing, and the...
