The current parts of the mathematical alphabet (in Letterlike Symbols, U+2100) are already compatibility charactars, so I assume the rest will be. Anyway, I can't see Ada not using KC normalization on the characters. NJ (an encoding digraph) should not be different from the ASCII NJ, for example. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org http://dvdeug.dhis.org If you wish to strive for peace of soul then believe; if you wish to be a devotee of truth, then inquire. -- Friedrich Nietzsche
