I wonder what Aristarchos would have to say about his doodles being enshrined into Unicode as the canonical way to annotate Greek texts, over two thousand years later.

I have to assume it's comparable to having that cool S kids doodle in school becoming the oldest typesetting tradition of entire societies. What a mark (ha) to leave on history.
