I thought PUA characters had very specific meanings, defined by the private parties who assign them, but utterly ignored by the standard. What Philippe may have meant by "semi-private characters" is "characters whose privately assigned meanings have been publicized." This would include CSUR scripts, Apple's and Microsoft's assorted ligatures and dingbats, and William Overington's stuff. -Doug Ewell Fullerton, California http://users.adelphia.net/~dewell/
