Thank you very much for graphical info about 7-segments capabilities I have never saw that complete set

I like it but the fact is that it is really hard to read, really you need to learn a new letter/symbol set, and one not very clear one (for example * is the usual grade/° symbol). I don't see lazy cheater learning that strange and low-productivity symbol set to cheat. To use later a name and a formula in that symbol set is really hard: it requires a lot of train, something a cheater is not going to do. And it adds up to the fact that 7-segments displays have only 10-12 digits display, so you can only show 10-12 chars in that strange and difficult to read symbol set.

If alphabetic capabilities calculator began with 14-segments display (HP-41C), not with 7-segments, I think it was for a reason: you need to learn a new and strange symbol set.

Our brain is quite adaptable:
