Completely separate question - I finally managed to get to Tedds site,
where I read this:
"The ℞symbol is a truly global icon for Pharmaceuticals. What
Pharmaceutical company would not want to own ℞.com -- if they are
seriously considering Global sales? While languages change throughout
the globe, the ℞ icon remains a constant and highly recognizable symbol
for Pharmaceuticals."
Now, I haven't worked in pharmaceuticals, but I've worked in most
European countries. So it's probably just me, but I've _never_ come
across the Rx symbol before. I don't think it's as global as you
think.
