There are 66 reserved non-characters in Unicode, codepoints that will never be used in interchange and therefore are free for all applications to use internally for purposes like this. They are U+FDD0 to U+FDEF (32 codepoints) plus U+xFFFE through U+xFFFF where x = 0 .. 10 (17*2 = 34 codepoints). -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan <[email protected]> "Any legal document draws most of its meaning from context. A telegram that says 'SELL HUNDRED THOUSAND SHARES IBM SHORT' (only 190 bits in 5-bit Baudot code plus appropriate headers) is as good a legal document as any, even sans digital signature." --me _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
