The glyph is irrelevant, except that a user presented with a choice of
the two from unifont would be none the wiser.  I'm interested in the

I produced the translations, I used them, I got confused.  I'm a
moderately sophisticated _user_.  I already suggested a clear
alternative if anyone cares.  This is a triviality.
