You're right, I was just answering the questions so it came to
other thing somehow.
BTW, among others we have discussed bitstring representation.
So if you work with those, for example if you model
cryptography algorithms or similar things in Python,
this could help you for example to debug your programs
and generally one could interpret it as, say, how is about
adding an extra notation for this sake. And if you noticed
this is not really about my glyphs, but lies in ASCII.
So actually it is me who tried to turn it back to on-topic.
