Get educated. Don't you even know where X came from?
Just a funny idea: have you noticed that the "Kernighan, Pike, Ritchie,
Thomspon" quartet always lacks two legs? Am I right on this one? There is
K&R, K&P, and P&T. Have yet to see P&R, is there one?

How about going back to four buckey bits, hacker? For your information, Pi
is within ISO 8859, 8859-7 to be precise. Now you do one thing: enter a
daleth, put one rafe above it--i.e. "דֿ"--, and tell me the result.
I do Windows. When I need to type in another language--and I often need
that for three languages--I press [Alt]+[Shift] and I get the keyboard
layout for that language. The right scan codes go to the right characters
codes which in turn go to the right glyphs for every major alphabet/script
on Earth, including right-to-left scripts.
