Nope - that's double conversion you're doing here.. 2204 is already
hex value. that in decimal would be 8708

While probably not so useful for this case, you can also modify
windows keyboard layouts to have access to more key-combinations.

I'm not quite sure I follow you here, Christian ; 089c is the hexadecimal
representation of the number represented by the decimal 2204 ((12x16⁰ +
(9x16¹) + (8x16²)), so I don't understand where the «double conversion»
comes in. As I understand it, 2204 is the decimal and 089c the hexadecimal
code for the glyph «∄», and the first page of Table de caractères Unicode (
http://unicode.coeurlumiere.com/) would seem to back me up.


Your example describes it differently:

On page 3 [1] it shows the glyph in the line 2200 at fifth position out 
of 16.


Therefore it is Unicode 2204, as the columns stand for the last position 
in the four digit code.


But the line above is 21F0 - and the last 6 columns in each line stand 
for the fourth position of the code as A to F.


These numbers can't be decimal - they are hexadecimal. Nobody would try 
to convert let's say 220A (just 5 characters behind 2204), the small 
epsilon sign, to Hex again.


By the way, the small number above the sign is the decimal number.

I don't know if this helps at all, I just wanted to tell...

Best regards

Bernhard

I got it working on a Mac using the Compose Special Characters
extension:

http://www.productivityapps.com/csc.html

I'm not sure if it will work in Math, though, so it might not help in
this case.  I spend most of my time in LO using Writer, with sporadic
forays into Calc.  That extension (along with the ucs-insert setting
in Emacs) has made my life a great deal easier.

Quite alright, things do get a bit hectic from time to time.

Cool.  Thus far I've just listened to the MP3s it generates in a
regular media player, but I'm not a fan of the synthetic voices.  If
there's no alternative, then sure, but I prefer a real audio book
there.  Obviously that tends to be more expensive to produce, though,
unless one is reading one's own work.

Cool.

If you could email them to me, that'd be great.

That's very cool, I've grabbed all the OOo ones and bookmarked the
site for future reference.

I tried it on Ubuntu 11.04,win xp and win 7 64 bit.
I hope that the info is useful.
