Stupid question, how did you do that? What characters are you using?

I frequently have to deal with lots of scientific, mathematical, and many other unusual characters.

I use http://unicode-table.com to help figure out what's what. The official Unicode specifications[1] is impenetrable, and it's really hard to deal with.

Second "o" is in fact Cyrillic "о" which looks indistinguishable from Latin "o" (unless you use some weird font without Cyrillic letters).
