Off-topic slightly, but has anyone encountered this particular
romanisation anywhere else?

          presumably means I Ya

               presumably means Yu

(none of which letters I can express with my keyboard -- the I is a
back-to-front N, the Ya is a back-to-front R, and the Yu is a sort of
Combination H and O).

When I first encountered it, it distracted me from Knuth's deathless
prose for a noticeable period of time (several seconds ;-)
