Sure they are. Once we have established that (look, we have plenty of anecdotal evidence!), we never need to reconsider our judgement or allow exceptions, since everybody arguing against it is clearly (in mentality) an American and thusly, (due to what we already know about Americans (they're dumb and dumber)) not a reliable source of information. Call me Logic Master.

If you are wondering: On Linux/X11, there's Ctrl+Shift+[unicde number in hexadecimal], gnome-character-map, umap or KCharMap (ت)

And now for the less serious part:

ሞሡሢ Am I the only one whom these Ethiopic characters remind of Tengwar? BTW, are there Unicode chars for Tengwar? I think there should be! (But not for Klingon, because it sucks.) I have fun wirting this on my ⌨, but ℐ∫ ᚾℍℹ⑀ not pointless? Who cares? Anyway, now we can use distinct characters for Roman numerals: Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵ,Ⅶ,Ⅷ,Ⅹ,Ⅻ,Ⅽ,Ⅿ! Ye darn kids! Everythin we had was 7-bit ASCII, without parity, and we were damn greatful for it? You think you had it bad? I had to use Morse code for browsing porn, back in my days! And I had to etch my public key into the wall of a rotten ol' cave! We did not have this fancy-shmancy routed network, i had to remember the way from here to there all by myself!
