This is good to know. We had not previously considered the trademark aspect, but will investigate further. While the name is shared with a geographic location and various other projects use a similar naming convention (e.g. Stalin∇, ∇SLAM), "Kotlingrad" may indeed be more appropriate and SEO-friendly. Thanks for your feedback.
- mkl 7y agoThere's another issue you may not be aware of, which is what I was describing, based on how my phone displayed it. The ∇ (U+2207) you just said for Stalin∇ and ∇SLAM is a different character to the one on the Github page, 𝛁 (U+1d6c1)! The latter character is outside the BMP, so will lead to plenty of compatibility and font issues. For me on Firefox on Android, it shows up as a blank grey wide character rectangular block (Chrome on Kubuntu it's fine). The symbol, when it displays properly, is pronounceable if you know the maths, but will probably hurt SEO etc. If you must use one of these, definitely use ∇, as that should be well supported (just hard to type and search for).

- dreamcompiler 7y agoSame situation here on Brave for Android. U+2207 shows up fine but the char after "Kotlin" is an unknown.
