That's interesting. Does it have a name there? Do you know of a name
for it anywhere else?

| characters; you can certainly write 9: with two characters.
Hmmm. I accept Marco's statement that while it's a single symbol, it
doesn't necessarily have to be a single character. What is the rule
for deciding whether a single symbol needs one or more characters?
What happens if I find a font that has this as a single character, for
example?
