Mysterious ISO 2022-JP characters

2001-10-05 Thread Lars Marius Garshol
I've received data encoded in ISO 2022-JP that I am unable to figure out how to map to Unicode. The characters in question do not appear in the old JIS0208.TXT, and I can't find them in UniHan.txt either (unless I am misinterpreting it). These characters are the problem: $Bz(B $B|(B

Of course ligation control is font-specific. That is why the ZWJ solution is elegant -- it falls back gracefully to the two (or three...) unligated glyphs in the event the ligature is unavailable in the font. This is still better than displaying a black box, which is how William Overington's

Handling irregular sequences

2001-10-05 Thread David E. Hollingsworth
The definition of UTF-32 (and the modifications to UTF-8 for Unicode 3.1) make it clear that conformant processes shall not generate irregular sequences. However, they do not (and perhaps they shouldn't) indicate what a process should do when encountering an irregular sequence, and I'm curious
