The initWithName that I put in BCSymbol is for the singleletter code, 
so I guess that can be changed to initWithSymbol. If we don't want to 
use an accessor to set the symbol (I agree), you think this will work:


- (id)initWithSymbol:(unichar)aChar
{
     if ( self = [super init] )
     {
	symbol = aChar;
     }

     return self;
}

I am not sure if the line

symbol = aChar;


is legal.
