Hello Carlos,

On Sunday November 27 2022 13:38, you wrote to me:

I can go along with that, I do not recall ever using the 'y' with diaresis.

I vaguely recall. ;-)

I can go along with sacrficing the Yen sign for the 'a' with ring above.

But sacrificing the pound sign? Life is making choices and  when it comes to
choosing between the Pound sign and the a with tilde, I choose the Pound. I
think the Brittih made a mistake to not go for the Euro and keep the pound
Sterling as their currency, but it is what it is and the Pound Sterling is
still in wide spread use. OTOH, the only west European language that uses the
'a' with tilde is Portugese and there is only one Portugese sysop in Z2.
