U+262B FARSI SYMBOL that actually appears on my passport (Michael, Ken,
Asmus and Cathy saw it in Tokyo).

Neither Farsi, nor a symbol. In real life, it is the official emblem of
the goverment of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I-Ching Hexagrams

2003-04-06 Thread Kevin Brown 
I assume the 64 hexagrams in Unicode 4 (Beta) from U+4DCB-U+4DFF are 
indeed the hexagrams of the I-Ching?

If so, I need to relate the proposed codepoints and names (eg  
4DCBHEXAGRAM FOR STANDSTILL) to actual glyphs I already have in a font 
database. Is there a draft Code Chart illustrating the glyphs for these 
new additions?

My problem would be solved if someone could confirm that the hexagrams in 
Unicode 4 (Beta) are listed in the same order as they appear in the 
I-Ching.

Or maybe someone knows of a website where the hexagrams are illustrated 
along with  their names. I've been looking but haven't found one yet.

Thanks
