No character set standard was ever designed by Slovaks. However, Slovak
linguists have always treated "ch" as a separate character. As they
do "dz" and "dz" with caron, but those are encoded in Unicode.

Anyway, it's a moot point now. As I said, I only mentioned that as
an example, not to restart the discussion.

I believe there are other *human* scripts that need to be encoded
in Unicode before Klingon (is Mayan encoded yet, for example?).

Frustration, yes. Anger, no.
