I do, they are two different things if you are a Swedish speaking.
"æ" and "ä" on the other hand should be treated as the same.
Which is something completely different than "lookalike" of course.
Just to show the confusion.
Let me add an explanation to the above. In English the "æ" is a ligature, and in some more languages. It is a separate letter and *not* a ligature in the Scandinavian languages that uses it. So whether something is a ligature, and because of that what is "the same" is context dependent. Patrik
