Hi!
Let's say that I have two files, namely file1 file2, in any Unicode
encoding, both starting with a BOM, and I compile them into one by using
cat file1 file2 file3
in Unix or
copy file1 + file2 file3
in MS-DOS, file3 will have the following contents:
BOM
contents from file1
BOM
in MS-DOS, file3 will have the following contents:
BOM
contents from file1
BOM
contents from file2
Is this in accordance with the Unicode standard
Nope. When concatenating two files (or any streams) of which the
second one has a BOM, the second one should be deleted.
However, there's a
You can remove a per-file prefix, certainly. This would make sense.
But if you do not, what is the harm of a character that you cannot see
and which does not even have width or cause line breaking behavior?
Realistically, what would the problem be?

Note on the COPY command: it seems some versions of Windows seem to
be BOM-aware; at least Windows2000, when concatenating two text

I tried what you suggested with unipad, but for some reason it went to a
location on a PUA character map, rather than CJK Unified Ideographs
Extension B, where they are in fact located. I guess it is because Unipad
doesn't support Extension B yet, or else I am doing something wrong. But
This is good news for me, thanks a lot.

Thanks for the enightening me regarding the CHANT website fonts. Now if ICS1
