There's a whole lowercase alphabet, and a few uppercases here and
there. Someone found it on the Unicode list; for some reason I'm
thinking it was Doug Ewell but I haven't been looking it up. I'm
attaching a perl script I threw together yesterday to do these kinds of
conversions for me automatically (instead of looking up each letter in
reverse order, etc...) If yahoogroups has a problem, I'll just paste it
in as plaintext.
