    If he is wrong, then other people are wrong as well. For instance, in
    the font for X11
    <http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/fonts/encodings/armscii-8.enc?rev=HEAD> you can find:

    STARTMAPPING unicode
    0xA0 0x00A0 # NO-BREAK SPACE
    # <armeternity> doesn't exist in unicode.
    0xA1 0xFFA1 # Armenian Eternity Sign
    # <armew> doesn't exist in ArmSCII-8
    0xFF 0x0587 # Armenian Ligature "ew"
    0xA2 0x00A7 # Armenian Section Sign
    0xA3 0x0589 # Armenian Full Stop (Verjaket)
    ...
