Should we care about?
I think for ConTeXt purposes we should just ignore the composed form, it is there only for compatibility with some legacy CJK encodings and their use is almost discouraged. If user enters those code points directly, then he on his own, so nothing to be done here either. In short, this is just some of the compatibility nonsense crippling Unicode, we are better off pretending they do not exist Regards, Khaled ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
