If I compile that example it is shown as
	test 12345
by Acrobat 8. When I copy that string into WORD 2003 it is presented as
	test kVkVkVkVkV
(where each kV combination is a ligature in Arial Unicode).

WORD’s UTf-8 analysis identifies these ligatures as F731, F732, F733,
F734, and F735, respectively. All of them are no valid unicode characters.

Kind regards
Albert
