You certainly can use PUA code points, together with a suitable font, if you want to encode and display text for interchange. This does not make the characters part of the Unicode Standard; they are simply a "mutual agreement" between sender and receiver (and font-maker). See http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/udhr-ew.html for an example. Be sure you have installed Code 2000 by James Kass, and be sure (sigh) to change your encoding manually to UTF-8. But if Elaine simply wants to create a font with the desired glyphs, then Chris is correct. It is not necessary to assign a Unicode code point to every ligature and alternative glyph in a font. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
