Yeah, but I saw differences and I noticed in each one of them they
changed some characters.

This is what Edward posted some days ago:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/271144/CHARACTR.DOC.rtf It should have the
visual references.

It would be actually good to mark somewhere the exact wp characters
(charset, charnumber) and their multicharacter mappings. I will then do
what I do for the double byte script, will handle those where the single
codepoint to single codepoint works and will add a special handling for
those that need to be mapped using two or more chars. In the single
codepoint to single codepoint mapping I will mark them as having 0x0000
conversion which will be a special case. Nevertheless, I will do this later.

Feel free to fix whatever you want. Patches are always welcome :)
