Brian, I don't understand either.
But these definition are different although there look the same,
This define unicode (ucs2) 3!:0=131072
neg =. 4&u:111 800 65 800 66 800 67 800 88 800 89 800 90 800
null=. 4&u:111 805 65 805 66 805 67 805 88 805 89 805 90 805
pos =. 4&u:111 799 65 799 66 799 67 799 88 799 89 799 90 799
but this is one byte, utf8 encoding that represent unicode, 3!:0=2
neg=.'o̠A̠B̠C̠X̠Y̠Z̠'
null=.'o̥ḀB̥C̥X̥Y̥Z̥'
pos=:'o̟A̟B̟C̟X̟Y̟Z̟'
to convert to ucs2, use ucp
neg=.ucp 'o̠A̠B̠C̠X̠Y̠Z̠'
null=.ucp 'o̥ḀB̥C̥X̥Y̥Z̥'
pos=:ucp 'o̟A̟B̟C̟X̟Y̟Z̟'
do not trust what you saw in ijx, use 3&u: instead to show the true data
(similar to using a.&i. to display ascii)
