And super-experts can read languages in "byte barf" as it is not random!

Ken,
The little square boxes do not help much if you what to know exactly what
the missing characters are. I do however feel that any solution to the
problems should be Unicode based. If left to the vendors that may display

U+0361 is the double wide combining inverted breve.

Best regards,
James Kass.
Thanks for the suggestion--of U+0361 (I don't think U+0360 is going to
do what I want terribly well). I'm assuming that U+0361 IS in your font
(I hadn't checked yet). One of the problems with that approach is that I

As an end user of Unicode I was interested to learn recently that the latest
version of SC UniPad, a Unicode plain text editor for various PCs, has been
released.
This latest version is SC UniPad 0.99 and is available for free download
from the following address on the web.
