I've just temporarily broken this rule by renaming ca.kbd to ca-fr.kbd, but will add a "Canadian Multilingual" ca.kbd soon; I think it's better to get this set up in advance of the MFC. > I choose to write Unicode character codes as hex numbers.

Thanks for this too, I agree that being able to look up Unicode code points directly is much more important than reducing syscons diffs.
