May you find a decent > default there. I don't have an answer. I have requirements, though: * I should be able to get the character by knowing its glyph (shape). * It should be very low-level and work system-wide, preferably over the network (I'm typing this over the network). The solution may require a touch screen and a canvas where I can draw with my fingers. The solution may have to be implemented in the keyboard. Or maybe we'll have to wait for brain-implantable bluetooth tranceivers. Then, we'd just think of the character and it would appear on the screen. Marko
