Reading the Unicode standard for text encoding is surprisingly fascinating. The proposal for the encoding rules for Egyptian Hieroglyphics bring up all the points they'll need to consider when encoding Mayan Hieroglyphics and various kinds of runes; the proposals for Tengwar and Cirth are just as serious.

OK, I realize this is a strange thing to be doing on a Friday night. But it's strangely alluring...

Very much like you Yoni. Been like you since the sixth grade so why be surprised.

Yes, your amusements are much more normal. Speaking of which, how's the island coming? :)
