Nothing can beat the coding schemes endorsed by Unicode. They are all working on the smallest possible entity level (Unicode Transformation *Units*) with a unique set of these entities. To not forget. A set of characters is an artificial construction and by nature it can not follow the logic of a more "natural" set, eg. integers. jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
