The difference between an icon and a letter is small and unclear. & is a symbol but was considered a letter as an example. Chinese characters are words etc.

- agumonkey 10y agoGood point. Letters.. punctuation.. symbol .. the lines are blurry. If I may I'd say that & is a symbol that represent a grammar connective. Which is a generic abstraction and won't cause explosion like having symbols for every word out there.
- the_mitsuhiko 10y ago> may I'd say that & is a symbol that represent a grammar connective Then what about §? or $? Or %? The list is endless.
- agumonkey 10y agoYou're talking about potential concatenation or are these used (never seen them). If the former then I think it's a bit outside the problem scope.
