Yes, this is why I was proposing to use a base-32 number as the last 3

together into one letter.  Yuk yuk yuk...

The Cork encoding really needs a text symbol companion font, to hold
things like currency symbols, oblique fractions, and all the other
bits and pieces missing from the Cork encoding.  I'll repost a message
I sent to the math-font-discuss group about this a while ago.  My
apologies to those of you who'll be getting this twice!
