Re: [NTG-context] \char"xxxx not working as I expected

I did check the font in 'gucharmap' and it does contain all codes I'm using (U+2019, U+2610, U+226b, U+2115). But the result is a blank (U+2610 and U+2115) or wrong (U+226b) character. (U+2019 is shown properly.)

The test alternates lines where a unicode character is inserted directly (using emacs 'ucs' input method) and then insert the same character using '\char'. (So, if you see strange chars in the code, it's because it does contain utf-8 characters.) It's intersting that u+226b is shown properly when typed, but not when using '\char'.

Am I doing something wrong?

1. You need a font with the chars, e.g. Arial Unicode 2. Use uppercase letters for hex numbers (lowercase is used for ^^..) Wolfgang
