I see. 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?
