The point I complained about was not a name.

I gather you suggest I buy a new computer, or write new software,
to ascribe a specialized graphic representation that I could not
pronounce anyway.

ASCII has a quote mark (") which people have used successfully for
100 years on typewriters.  A constant urge to change standards used
in communications that do not need them does not help anyone.

I might feel differently if this were the typography newsgroup.
But this is Ada, whose discussion can work quite well without graphics.
