Well, if he wants us to use a symbol instead of his name, it would be a heck of a lot easier if he had chosen one that was in ISO 8859-1 or maybe ISO 10646 instead of making one up. Or even in ASCII. How about "@", or "?", or maybe "&" instead? How does he expect us to use it otherwise? I mean does this guy know anything at all about typography?
