The only thing I will bring to the table is this:
The middle finger, here in America and indeed in some other places in the world, is a symbol of "fuck you". Just because it doesn't mean "fuck you" in your culture/country/religion, doesn't mean you shouldn't be sensitive to the fact that it DOES mean "fuck you" to others. That means, if you walk around with your middle finger up, in front of people who recognize it differently than you do, you should respect the fact that the difference in opinion exists.
I hope that made sense.
And Holo, I completely understand what you're trying to say, and I respect your conviction to say it.
Oh, and the reason the † is still in the main character set is because it's used in annotation, and legal stipulation, much like an *asterisk, such as: †My penis is four feet long.
Bottom of page:
†That's a lie. It's only 3 feet long.
