And don't forget the fun you can have with different unicode code
points that match to glyphs that look the same.

Α,Β and Ε are not the same as A, B and E (depending on your mail
client/shell/whatever you use to display this these two blocks may
look different, or they may not). The same goes for every tool that
displays glyphs.
