\char"xxxx not working as I expected
Hi, I'm trying this small test on unicode characters, and the result I get is this: http://173.45.227.76/test3.pdf 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

I have no idea what gucharmap is, but the font *does not* have U+2115, nor U+2610. I verified that in fontforge.
(U+226b) character.
The "b" should be a "B". TeX-style hexadecimal values are always uppercase (\char"226B works for me). Best wishes, Taco

gucharmap will fallback to another font if the selected font don't have the required character, so this doesn't necessarily mean the font has those characters. -- Khaled
