As Stefan Persson already observed, U+212B ANGSTROM SIGN (Å) exists in
Unicode alongside U+00C5 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE (Å) only
because both characters were present in some legacy character set with
which Unicode had to maintain round-trip compatibility.

Dear David,
There is a letter in the Swedish alphabet
(capital A with a ring above). Some Swede by the name of Ångstrøm
was a scientist and worked with light and color. He came up with a convenient
was to accurately measure the color of light. That measurement was named after
him and given

I'm curious if you would have sent the same message if Michael Everson had
sent a message about one character. We've had threads on this list about one

Frank, http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-yergeau-rfc2279bis-03.txt addresses these, and
version -04 of this draft will be public shortly.

That's a very long-winded way of writing it!
How about this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -pi~ -0777
# program to remove a leading UTF-8 BOM from a file
# works both STDIN -> STDOUT and on the spot (with filename as argument)
s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//s;
which uses perl's -p, -i and -0 o
one down, 95000+ to go.
Can we not have a detailed mail for each character describing 3 places it was
used and "it looks good to me"?
Imagine if every font designer did that.
We are now aware of another site that has fonts for unicode so we all know
where to look. 'nuff said.

I read the RFC 2279 again (
http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cs/Services/rfc/rfc-text/rfc2279.txt )
1. I cannot find any text in it mentioned about. non short form is
invalid UTF8, and
2. It mentioned about 1-6 octets of UTF8
3. It mentioned about how to encode surrogate pair to UTF-8. But it does

William Overington has graciously provided a downloadable font
with the Unicode 4.0 hot beverage symbol encoded at U+2615.
A suggestion would be to add some of the other interesting new
glyphs from Unicode 4.0 for experimental purposes. There are
many to choose from, and no fonts (to speak of)

I gave TTE a try and it definitely has some interesting and useful
features. To get some answers to a few questions, I have corresponded with
the author and he has given me permission to post the following:

Thinking that the new to Unicode 4.0 symbol U+2615 Hot Beverage might be
very useful in the preparation of meeting agendas and the like and also
wishing to try to design a glyph which would look good particularly at a 12
point size in documents, I have produced a font named Hot Beverage which I

You could try to call ICU4C from COBOL http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/userguide/cobol.html
ICU has a GB 18030 converter.

Thanks, all, for your responses.
They helped me to better phrase my question:
