sorry, but what do you mean "in Catalan" ?  there isn't a "Catalan character 
set" that i'm aware of.  maybe you mean ISO-8859-1 ?

at any rate, imo, the only charsets that matter at all when it comes to 
defaults are ASCII and UTF-8.  sane defaults there covers 99% of the world and 
if you want to use a legacy codeset in the <1%, then you can tweak the 
default.

i agree with Benno -- the reason i like · is because it's small enough to be 
unobtrusive, but big enough to be noticeable.  and it's centered nicely.
