bug#22919: calc should use square root symbol to denote square root

Whilst i like the aesthetics of using the actual square root symbol rather than 'V', i use character sets and fonts that make this character available. Not everyone does, however, and this change would result in those people getting something like the equivalent of the Unicode REPLACEMENT CHARACTER, � (0xFFFD), or a blank space. So i would like to suggest this patch not be applied without also either adding a way to customise which character gets used as the square root symbol, or logic to only display a square root glyph when it's certain it's available.


Alexis.
