We have a large amount of C++ that currently has Unicode 2.0 support.
Could you all help me figure out what types of operations will fail
if we attempt to pass Unicode 3.0 thru this code?
I can start the list off with

-searching for text
-text comparison
-other character classificati

No. Most complex script shaping is now handled by a comb

Hello,
After one of the replies that I received for my
previous question, I thought of a more general
question about how glyph shaping is done. I'm just
wondering, when a Unicode rendering program is doing
glyph shaping for Arabic (or any other language with
similar properties), would the program

Yes, there is. A character sequence (say)
is very unlikely to have a ligature, specially adapted (and fitting)
adjustment points, or similar. The rendering would in that sense
need to use a fallba
Do you any suggestions on how I could convert a piece
of Unicode text in this manner? Are there any programs
that could do this?
Roman Czyborra's arabjoin (a Perl script):

It does the conversion to Arabic Presentation Forms. But also, which may not

May I ask why you want to do this?
