| Yes. My question is "Which do you feel comfortable, printing collect
| glyphs or hex-escaped ASCII ?". I prefer printed glyphs for foreign

| deal.

Given that my system displays most major alphabets, and that I can 
recognize most, the glyphs are more informative for informal purposes than 
seemingly 'random' codes.
