Maybe. Sometimes they act as if they are, or at least their directors
etc do.
But actually there may be no reason for the member to be embarrassed
here. I suspect the issue is the idiosyncratic way in which small cap
variants of ASCII letters have been encoded within the font, in the PUA,
rather than being handled with proper markup. I suspect that that is a
matter of how the product has been used rather than of its basic
capabilities.
