I just said 1535 because I like the word "himemiko". Also, it is just under
1 1/2 KB, and that attachment size is good for small black-and-white
illustrations (for character placement, etc.) Some Swedish (?) person came
up with an excellent use for some illustrations about a month ago, when
discussing a Swedish ampersand and a few other characters on this list.
Also, Sarasvati's birth year should be an agreeable number for her to use
as a file size limit. And since I never give a lady's age, remember, it is
not necessarily a Gregorian year!
