This is excellent. It is so good, I will repost to you.

I am not going to tell you what to say on your homepage,
but in using this chart on aaa, it might be nicer if
new folks didn't get the impression they would "get a
lot of grief" from posting a non-standard character,
but rather, "because not all people will be able to
view them".

Anyway, it is the smallest, neatest chart out there.
