ISO charsets: Where's the reverse 'B'?

Hello ISO, where's my backwards 'B'? How can we properly credit ABBA without the reverse 'B'? C'mon ISO, you have 32,768 characters available in your char sets. Just one for ABBA isn't asking too much, please/bitte? --A Wikipedia editor Aladdin Sane (talk) 03:55, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

According to my research, sales and shipments should be like the following. I usually don't edit the english version of Wikipedia and I also don't know, which sources are accepted here. But I would like to share the dates here anyway, so maybe there is an encouraged user to sort out and include the provided information to the "Arrival album" article.

1976 In The UK Year End Chart

'Arrival' was the UK's 41st Best Seller of 1976. (That was with 3 Week's Sales missing from the Year End Chart - the final 3 Weeks of 1976. So it would have been a lot higher than 41st had those final 3 Weeks been added in).
