Yes, they're missing as precomposed forms, but you can always represent them using combining sequences. No, there's no point in asking for them. Unicode cannot add new precomposed accented Latin, Greek, or Cyrillic letters because it screw up normalization. Use the actual upsilon capital letter followed by the appropriate breathing and accent marks. ========== John H. Jenkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://homepage.mac.com/jenkins/
