I've noticed the letter K appears in many fonts, which if printed 3 times in succession is liable to cause offence to many people... In fact, with 26 such letters and the ability to arrange them in limitless ways, the potential for offense is enormous! Dangerous things, these fonts, perhaps Microsoft should remove them to make sure its products can't be used to offend. After all, the user's intent has nothing to do with it, has it?
