Hello,

Last week, the Hong Kong Government has released a new version of HKSCS,
called the "Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set 2001":

        http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/

The most significant change compared to the previous version is that,
some characters have moved from the Private Use area of Unicode to
outside of the BMP.  Under an UTF-8 locale, is the core X11 protocol
able to support characters outside of the BMP?  I have an impression
that it doesn't.  If that's the case, does that mean that any
application that wants to display these characters need to either use
Xft/XRender, or draw them themselves?

Thanks

Roger
