Carl Brown kindly provided a link with details of enabling surrogates, which has now moved to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/unicod e_192r.asp I don't have access to Windows 2000 or XP yet, but I have just added test pages for Old Italic, Gothic, Deseret, Byzantine Musical Symbols, Musical Symbols, Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols, CJK Compatibility Ideographs Supplement and Tags to my Web site, starting at: http://www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/old_italic.html I would be very interested to know if these pages actually work, after surrogates have been enabled according to the instructions in the linked article. Does anyone know if it is easier to enable surrogates in Windows XP?
