Thanks 
I don’t know much about LCD manufacture, but i’m guessing routing the electrode leads would be a problem, considering the number of segments and the way they overlap.
BTW, just noticed i’ve missed “V”. And now that i think about it, i’m not sure how to implement it and make it different enough from “U”. Perhaps make the “U” square and “V” rounded. Or give the “U” a tail on the right side.
But yeah, it was just a conceptual idea thingy anyways
I’ve had another one for a sort of matrix-segment display. I.e. a regular matrix of segments instead of pixels, composed from sub-units shaped either like a modified starburst, or hex (or, beter yet, octagon) edges. That would allow you to implement different font sizes on the same segment screen, as well as various symbols and even some rudimentary graphics.
