Script l (U+2113)

2004-08-23 Thread Kevin Brown
I've just noticed that the script l character (U+2113) is one of only two apparently mandatory characters (the other being estimated U+212E) included in addition to the MacOS Roman character set in a collection of recently released Linotype fonts. Is there any other common usage for U+2113

LATIN SMALL LIGATURE CT

2004-02-27 Thread Kevin Brown
This has possibly been canvassed before, but I was wondering why there is no character LATIN SMALL LIGATURE CT in Alphabetic Presentation Forms (or elsewhere)? The Alphabetic Presentation Forms range contains most of the other latin ligatures such as st, ff, fi, fl etc. I would have thought

I-Ching Hexagrams
