The relationship between mysticism/occult studies and language studies should
definitely go in only one way. Otherwise we'd end up encoding one character
for "true name of God" and fill the rest of the codespace with variant
selectors to apply to it :)
Still, it's better than the guy who argued that the word "angel" was derived
from the astrological use of the word "angle".
