From: наб <redacted> I regularly get mildly lost in this table (and, indeed, didn't realise it had two columns the first few times I used it to look at something from the left column) ‒ separating the two columns improves clarity, and makes which soup of numbers belongs to which character much more obvious Other encodings don't need this as they don't use double-columnated tables Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <redacted> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <redacted>
Thanks. Patch applied. Cheers, Michael
