demand for CJK Extension B support on M.E. (if any) will

Since a glyph from a Plane Two font will display on M.E.,

If a Plane Two character can flicker on-and-off in MSIE 5.5
on Win M.E., then this OS and browser should be able to
display non-BMP text without any problem.
There is no reason for it not to work. Microsoft may not
expect it to work and the flickering display may have been
unintentional or an ov
Well,
I do not speak for MS and would not want *that* job anyway (especially for
issues like this one) but one thing I *know* is the first tester's axiom:
"If you do not test it, its broken."
I am just about positive that they did not test such a scenario. Remember
that Uniscribe still sits
Yes, too cool! I can see them now! Setting the encoding to user-defined
and using NCRs works.
I'll set up the page with an Etruscan example.
As for the zip of the rtf file, I am sorry, I forgot to give the url.

Microsoft does not say this will work and do not expect it to work. You have
to have an OS that suppprts this sort of thing. :-)

| Why not store codepoint numbers as bignums?
You can. If you use the UTF-32/UCS-4 encoding of Unicode you use four
bytes per character, which is effectively what you're suggesting.
The UTF-16, UTF-8, and UTF-7 encodings behave differently, but the
option of using a fixed-

Andrew "Bass" Shcheglov was kind enough to provide a solution.
MSIE will display Plane Two text if the encoding is UTF-8, but
won't display Plane One text.
The way to get Plane One text to display in MSIE 5.00 and up in
W2K is to use decimal NCRs and set the character set to user
defined.
