   To me the term looks like   
      
     [√(3) cos(t)^2 - √(3)]/[3 cos^(t)^2 + 1]^(3/2),   
      
   but only if I use DejaVu Sans Mono 13pt (not, for example, with Consolas   
   12pt, another monospace font).   
      
   So this is more evidence that it is not a good idea (that should even   
   convince the staunchest supporter) to *draw* equations (using Unicode) in   
   Usenet.  [As you can see, I can find nothing wrong with *writing* Unicode   
   characters when using ASCII would be clumsy instead.]
