- * Older versions of GNOME defaulted to using an asterisk as the invisible

- * The default invisible character was changed in GNOME revision 21446
- * (GTK+ 2.16) from an asterisk to the first available character out of
- * 0x25cf, 0x2022, 0x2731, 0x273a.  See GNOME bugs 83935 and 307304 for
- * discussion leading up to the change.
