Oh, no. We use three calendars in Iran: Jalali, Hijri, and Gregorian. The
official one is Jalali, for some holidays we use Hijri dates, a

We have all learned the difference between the Unicode character encoding
model and the various forms that glyphs may take. How do people here
suggest handling the following scenario?
The ancient Roman monetary unit sestertius is not yet in Unicode. It might
well be accepted if proposed, but wo
I've noticed some strange things with plane 1 characters:
* When I make a UTF-8 document and open it in Internet Explorer 5.5 under
Windows 98, each letter is displayed as *two* square boxes. These square
boxes do *not* represent the corresponding surrogate pairs. Each letter is 4
bytes long.

Stefan,
If you go to:
http://www.geocities.com/i18nguy/unicode-example-plane1.html
and you download and install the font from James Kass:
http://home.att.net/~jameskass/CODE2001.ZIP
you can display the plane 1 characters in the page.
IE likes plane 1 characters only as NCRs (&#xX;).
