-
- Greek, Latin and Cyrillic are three different *alphabets*.
-
- When I say "alphabets" I'm referring to a small number of characters with
- an order that allow the "user" of such an alphabet to write text in their
- language. At least some characters in the above mentioned alphabets look
- different and have different meanings or can't be found in all alphabets.
-
- I see no need/benefit to unify different alphabets.
-
- Additionally the ease of conversion (from ISO 8859-x) is important, too.
