<br>
The test I made and the reply of Philip was about the problem of
Dennis "Unicode characters above USV+00FF not displaying".<br>
<br>
Could you provide an complete minimal example reproducing the
problem? So I could test.<br>
Thanks,<br>

to mean you tried some Plane 1 characters and they worked
correctly -- is that right? I have not seen a reply from

It could be a problem of your installation of the TeX
distribution or your TeXworks installation.<br>
<br>
By the way, which distribution you are using and which
TeXworks?<br>

it's a Windows issue, though, since the characters in question
work correctly in several other Windows programs (Word,
Libreoffice, Notepad) -- that's why I think it's a TeXworks
issue. The characters are in the Old Italic block of Unicode,
U+10300 and higher. <br>
<br>
Could TeXworks have an issue with characters in the
supplementary planes? I don't normally use any of these
scripts except Old Italic. To test this, I just copied some
characters from the Runic block and pasted them into Notepad
-- OK. Then I pasted them into TeXworks and changed the font
to one that I know supports Runic. This time I got black
rectangles. (This was a different font from the one that I
used with Old Italic.) Furthermore, the .notdef glyph in this
font has the shape of a tall narrow rectange, but I am seeing
almost squares. There does seem to be something going on
here. <br>

rectangles <br>
<br>
<br>
The rectangles are "notdef" characters. They appear when
Windows detects what it considers asa “not defined” character.
You may have a problem with default ignorable code points. <br>
This comes about because of the concept of"default ignorable
code points". Windows has incorporated andprogressively
enhanced its Unicode support since Windows 2000. Where in
thepast legacy applications running in legacy versions of
Windows took charactersfrom the range 128-159 and displayed
them, it appears that Windows will nowintercept calls for
characters in hacked (customised) fonts and display (ornot!)
one of the three variants stipulated for this scenario:· a
zero width character (the screen is blankwhere a glyph should
appear, and characters either side of the glyph appear tobe
adjacent)· a space (i.e. decimal 32) – blank space on
thescreen again.· the rectangle Microsoft refers to internally
as'notdef' <br>
These are "defaultignorable code points". Copy the "blank
spaces" or the rectangles - whichever - and paste into MS
Word. Then check each character position in turn using the
Alt-X trick to reveal the intended code point value. <br>
Contact me off-list if you wish. <br>

1. Re: Plane 1 characters not visible in TeXworks (David J.
Perry) <br>
This is a followup to my post from yesterday. Things get
weirder. <br>
<br>
Earlier tonight I opened TexWorks to do some more work on the
file I <br>
used yesterday. This time I saw empty rectangles where the Old
Italic <br>
characters are. This is better than nothing, although I'm
still not <br>
sure why the characters won't display. <br>
<br>
A few minutes ago I wanted to make a last-minute correction
and opened <br>
the file again. Same computer, same fonts, same everything as
earlier <br>
today, but now we are back to total blanks. ??? <br>
