So, I guess those are all the distinct characters you can make with a keyboard.
Oh, if you want to be technical, there’s this:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
The lowercase.
In my opinion it’s a derivative work that doesn’t stand on its own.
So this is the reason I offered him a regular column in Teemings?
I think your alphabetical piece doesn’t hold a candle to:
one two three FOUR five, six seven eight NINE ten, eleventwelve.

Ooooooh, the oft forgoten long S.

á
Wheeeee.
µ

I’m sure there are more, but I don’t really want to look them all up!
