    Hi,

    I just came across this:
    "In the table above, 21 is the eternity sign, which has no designated
    codepoint in Unicode."
    and
    "In the table above, 20 is the regular SPACE character, and A1 is the
    eternity sign, which has no designated codepoint in Unicode."
    (referring to the same character in two different encodings)
    on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMSCII about the ARMSCII-7,
    ARMSCII-8, ARMSCII-8a national encoding standard.

    Is that true (if so: how come), or is the author of the wikipedia
    article mistaken?

    (I indeed did not find the character in the Armenian block, but it
    could hide somewhere among the dingbats (but if so without an
    annotation saying "eternity sign")).
