Bug ID: 472376
Summary: KCharSelect Missing entire "Mathematical Alphanumeric
Symbols" block
Classification: Applications
Product: kcharselect
Version: 23.04.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: cf...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@callthecomputerdoctor.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KCharSelect is missing an entire grouping/block of symbols called "Mathematical
Alphanumeric Symbols". The symbols can be looked up one at a time in its
database if you happen to know exactly what you're looking for, but we cannot
see the entire block and browse them, like we can for "Supplemental Arrows-A"
group, for example.
This missing block is defined here:
https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In KCharSelect, paste the 𝒀 symbol into the search bar at the top and ensure
that Noto Sans is selected as the font.
2. The character is found and the code point is shown as U+1D480, as it should
be.
3. From the unicode.org site, doing a search on this character tells us that it
is the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" range.
4. Attempt to find the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" block in
KCharSelect.
4a. Select "Mathematical Symbols" from the first drop-down list and examine the
secondary drop-down list.
4b. Go through all the sub-blocks one at a time, to verify that code point
U+1D480 is not there. Even look in the first drop-down's "Symbol" category,
it's not there either.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should be able to find the entire group/block called "Mathematical Alphanumeric
Symbols" as shown in https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf
