That's more or less the same thing (although I'll admit, my original comment 
is not well stated). I'm not just talking about standard QWERTY keyboard 
but also standard keyboards for other languages and alphabets. I rather suspect 
that for every char in universal alpha, there is a standard keyboard somewhere 
that has it.
