indeed, after I updated char-def.lua a while ago taco and I spend a good
hour laughing about this ... there are really weird ones .. it's also an
open door to chaos and it's cultural biased:
CLOSED MAILBOX WITH LOWERED FLAG
CLOSED MAILBOX WITH RAISED FLAG
OPEN MAILBOX WITH RAISED FLAG
OPEN MAILBOX WITH LOWERED FLAG
as there is no
MAILBOX AS PRESCRIBED BY DUTCH PTT
HORIZONTAL MAILBOX SLOT IN DOOR
VERTICAL MAILBOX SLOT IN DOOR WITH WIND FLAP
HORIZONTAL MAILBOX SLOT IN DOOR
VERTICAL MAILBOX SLOT IN DOOR WITH WIND FLAP
MAILBOX ON POLE
etc and I'm sure that there are more variations of
TOILET
> Was Unicode ever serious?
it really makes me wonder why there was a problem with a few extra slots
when adding math (the holes in some alphabets) ... we could have
opted for
[0x1D506]={
category="lu",
description="MALE TEX LION",
direction="l",
linebreak="al",
specials={ "font", 0x0043 },
unicodeslot=0x1D506,
},
and magically render a MATHEMATICAL FRAKTUR CAPITAL C there
