    But it is not an ISP (Internet Service Provider), just an internet café
    (a place where you have terminals connected to the web where you can
    surf for a fee and optionally drink coffee at the same time -- no sugar
    to keep the keeboards unsticky...). They should call these web cafés
    really.

    Greatest idea for a sign or logo of such a place where you *cannot*
    access your IMAP or POP3 account: U+0040 U+20E0 ;-)

    BTW: Would it be OK to have something like "U+0040<red>U+20E0</red>"?
    (And was the single serious part of this message.)

    Or perhaps U+0040 U+036E U+036E...
    Or, even better, U+0040 U+030B U+030F... ;-)
