It occurred to me that a /slash is not good: it can't be used in a URL or a
Unix or DOS/Windows file name. An !exclamation mark can; it's part of
ASCII, which constitutes the first 127 characters of Unicode and is widely
available in many localized computer systems, even that don't use the Latin
alphabet, since it is used in programming. A $dollar sign would also work;
how much am I bid for the $Asteraceae?
