There is no "French A" and no "English A", I believe both languages call their alphabet the Roman (or Latin) alphabet. So those really are the same letter.

- thaumasiotes 11y agoThe Chinese could call their writing "the Roman alphabet" too (they don't), and label 闩 "A". So what?
- kps 11y agoThe Chinese could do that, but they'd be wrong. ‘French A’ and ‘English A’ have undiverged continuity with ‘Roman A’. Chinese writing is neither descended from Roman nor an alphabet.
- thaumasiotes 11y ago> ‘French A’ and ‘English A’ have undiverged continuity with ‘Roman A’. This is true, but it's equally true that they both have undiverged continuity with 'Greek Α', which has its own code point.
