    Canada opposed its inclusion (but accepted other abbreviations) and
    remained unconvinced at the end of the ad hoc meeting.

    This is public knowledge as it is recorded in a publicly available WG2
    document

    Personnaly, I still think this symbol should have a bar on top : I think
    no other symbol is divided like this, it is not a series of letters
    being abbreviated, it is already an abbreviation by itself (as a glyph
    variant).

    But, as said, « discussing » this calmly is extremely difficult.
