I completely agree. >One example that kind of interests me is the international phonetic >alphabet, which is used on Wikipedia sometimes. A mapping >for that would be useful... Note that text tables now support include. We could develop standard representations for these sorts of things and place them into includable subtables. Another of thesee character groups which comes to mind is box drawing. I'll follow up on box drawing in another message. >There are other things like certain symbols are kind of duplicated in Unicode. > >But I cant think of any right now, I'd need to check. Maybe another feature we need to add to text tables is character equivalence. Then, if a character is written for which the user's table doesn't have a definition, we could try to see if the table has a definition for an equivalent character. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
