extra end-of-line spaces in Blocks.txt

About £ (L with two bars = Italian lira or Egypt/Cyprus pound) and £ (L with one bar = Pound Sterling or Irish punt), I think that the Unicode distinction is not valid because: [...] For these reason, I suggest that font designers ignore the distinction between U+00A3 (POUND SIGN) and

Dear Kamal, I thought the list had actually died. I never UNsubscribed but the posting just stopped coming. I still can't see any subscription info on the MS Typography site. Could you please send me a more specific pointer? The list was moved to a different server a few months ago, and there

Hi folks, I appreciate the answers to my 6 questions, some of which came directly from the authors. I think that’s neat. I’m afraid I have a little bit of a beef about the Unicode documentation here, forgive me if this has already been brought up. How come UAX #27 says that Unicode 3.0 had 34

surrogate at java's property file

Any one know how does Java handle Surrogate pair property file ? Java's property file use the \u encoding for non ASCII characters, therefore U+00a5 is \u00A5. I wonder anyone know how does it handle Surrogate Pair? Does U+1 (0xd800 0xdc00) encoded as \u1 or \ud800\udc00 ? (I think it

Re: plane business

Some brief and not complete answers follow. I'm trying to get a grasp on exactly how many planes are defined in Unicode [...] How many planes are defined in Unicode 3.1? There are 17 planes, and everything will be re-written to reflect that, eventually. Most of the planes are empty

RE: surrogate at java's property file

Java doesn't define any characters beyond Unicode 2.1.8 at the moment. It's stuck in a time-warp. JDK 1.4 will update to Unicode 3.0... neither of these versions have defined characters in the supplemental planes. In Java, a java.lang.Character object is closely tied to the definition of an int,

RE: surrogate at java's property file

But then, it's my day to be an idiot... Of course an int can store more than 16 bits. It's char that's defined at 0..65535 in Java. int's will work fine in the APIs. It's the chars that are a problem. Must be the heat. ;-) Addison Addison P. Phillips Globalization Architect / Manager,

Re: plane business

There are 66 non-characters as of Unicode 3.1, there were 34 non-characters before. There are no hidden non-characters, but there were 'hidden' planes in Unicode 3.0 - hidden in the limited sense that they were defined as character and non-character locations, but no characters were assigned,
