Thank you for your replies. The answer is
U+7114 seems to be incorrect in the Arial Unicode MS Font.
(And, of course, MS Gothic is an unicode font.)

To supress conjunct formation, a ZWNJ (U+200C) can be
inserted after the Halant. Thus, the input sequence will be:

When I insert these characters into Word 2002 and set the font to Arial Unicode MS, I see <<...OLE_Obj...>> - two different glyphs.

most of these points, where I could see many in your first

Most search engines can search sites encoded in UTF-8.
That isn't generally the problem. The problem is entering the data to search
for. Most of the search pages aren't encoded in a Unicode encoding, so you can't
enter "just any" Unicode characters to search for...
One exception that I know
I could not find sufficient information on unicode.org webpages,
so please let me ask - just send me a link for further
information
Why do both of the characters coded 7130 and 7114 (焰 & 焔)

It's too late for Unicode 3.2. In any case, there's a lot of people who

Thanks Rick,
That's why I brought it up here, to get unofficial feedback!
As a matter of credit- the suggested \newpi symbol was not mine but
due to Richard Palais (mathematical adviser of Leslie Lamport (LaTeX)
and Mike Spivak (AMSTeX/Joy of TeX) at Brandeis). In \TeX :
\def \newpi{{\pi\mskip
Are there any search engines at all at present
which allow one to search sites encoded in UTF-8? If not, are there plans to
build such search engines? For example, is Google going to implement such an
engine?

That's a little excessive, isn't it? I would think
