So, defining the corresponding variation > selectors would not make the end user see the correct glyphs earlier. Still, variation selectors would be, in the text, a very localized indication, independent of (displaying) user's preference settings or language declaration (from the author, in e.g. XML/HTML formats) for the text, and variation selectors are indeed more likely to survive operations like cut-and-paste. There would be a problem of inserting variation selectors at all places where appropriate, though. Spell checking functionality could, in principle at least, help with the latter. /Kent K _______________________________________________ Unicode mailing list Unicode@unicode.org http://unicode.org/mailman/listinfo/unicode
