    Of course! There is no question that such a character is ambiguous, no
    one can claim that it is unambiguously Greek or unambiguously Coptic.
    But in Unicode 4.1 or 5.0 some people might conclude that these
    characters are unambiguously Greek, although such a conclusion might be
    misguided. Understood now? Or is it still all Greek, or perhaps Coptic,
    to you? :-)
