One still can fool it by using Cyrillic a (0430), c (0441), e (0435).
P.S. Shouldn't we ask the Unicode consortium to introduce programming
languages page with "access" as single character (and "goto", "if", "then",
"begin", "end", ... etc). They surely would enjoy it, since they did just
so for Roman numerals, degree symbols (�C, �F) etc. That would make the
mess perfect! (:-))
