An healthy coding scheme can only work properly with a unique characters set and the coding is achieved with the help of a unique operator. There is no other way to do it and that's the reason why we have to live today with all these coding schemes (unicode or not). Note: A coding scheme can be much more complex than the coding of "raw" characters (eg. CID fonts). > "So instead of using λ (0x3bb) we should use 𝝀 (0x1d740) or something > thereabouts like 𝜆" This is a very good understanding of unicode. The letter lambda is not the mathematical symbole lambda. Another example, the micro sign is not the greek letter mu which is not the mathematical mu. Shorly, it's maybe not a bad idea to use a plain ascii "lambda" instead of a wrong unicode point. jmf -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
