    Hello,

    I might be wrong, but these questions came to my mind when I read the
    last messages:

    Isn't IJ (as a single character) deprecated, isn't the use of I + J recommended?
    Given that it's only a compatibility character, and it should not be
    used for newly input data, is it a good idea to have it on a keyboard?
