Although some list members may already be aware of these pages,
because there are still very few web sites today that present text
using a variety of Unicode ranges for purposes other than 'display

pages on the Hot Peach Pages/EarthWords site:
1. Languages A to I (http://www.hotpeachpages.net/lang/indexu.html)
2. Languages J to Z (http://www.hotpeachpages.net/lang/index2u.html)
3. Quick definition of DV (http://www.hotpeachpages.net/lang/defnu.html)
(There is also an information page about how to 'access' Unicode at
http://www.hotpeachpages.net/a/characters.html.)
This non-profit web site was intended as an international resource
from its inception, and has recently incorporated "Unicode" in order
to further that goal. Of the millions of web sites on the internet, it
may in fact be 'the' one that currently makes the most use of Unicode
ranges in furtherance of 'non-whimsical', 'non-technical' purposes.
Any suggestions for improvement would be welcomed.
The Hebrew pages here are inadequate as a text of Unicode as they
consist of only unpointed modern Hebrew. For a much fuller test of
Hebrew support including vowels, cantillation marks etc, see
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/c/ct/c0101.htm (see also
http://www.mechon-mamre.org), and Genesis chapter 1 if you need a
translation. Probably none of the nasty vowel combinations we were
looking at on this page, I haven't checked what this site does about
them in passages where they do occur.
