I’m wondering if anyone could come up with a string of 15 to 40 characters _using only plane 2 characters_ that wouldn’t be gibberish?
We are considering adding sample-text strings in some of our fonts. (In OpenType, the ‘name’ table can take sample-text strings using name ID 19.) One particular issue we have is the Simsun-ExtB and MingLiU-ExtB fonts, which have CJK characters from plane 2 only. Background: The Simsun-ExtB and MingLiU-ExtB fonts are meant to complement the Simsun and MingLiU fonts: the combined glyph count exceeds the number of glyphs that can be added in a single OpenType font, and so the “ExtB” fonts are used to contain all of the Plane 2 characters that are supported. For example, the Simsun font supports 28738 BMP characters, and no plane 2 characters, while Simsun-ExtB supports the Basic Latin block from the BMP plus 47,293 plane 2 characters. The combined glyph count exceeds 64K, so can’t go into a single font. Peter
