Speaking of Unicode.

A. Scott Britton

Hey all. Speaking of Unicode, I'm having a little problem getting a particular codeset to work. I can get the Private Use Area codes to work, even tried Armenian as an experiment and it works too; but when I assign the codepoints for I Ching Hexagram symbols, they won't show up in the MS Word "Insert > Symbol" box. What am I missing?

Does it matter that the I Ching hexagram symbols were given codepoints in Unicode version 4 while the most recent version of FontLab/TypeTool only includes information up to Unicode version 3.2?

If this is the case, should I compose a codepage file to reflect the new information (since Unicode 4.0)?
