NOPE: this would seem to be a LiveCode-specific problem as I just entered those 3 characters (which are present in my Devawriter.ttf) font into a LibreOffice Writer document (Mac OS) without
a backward glance.

I have a "funny feeling" this is some problem with kerning rules for the characters
1CF5, 1CF6 and 1CF7 only.

It seems impossible to do this:

put numToCodepoint(0x1cf7) into fld "fff" (LC 8.1.3)

all one gets is a horrible little square (which one should not):

if one does this sort of thing:

put numToCodepoint(0x1cf7) & numToCodepoint(123) into fld "fff"

one gets the desired char followed by the second one (in this case, curly bracket)

trying this:

put numToCodepoint(7415) into fld "fff"  is no better.

Is this:

1. a Richmond problem?

2. a LiveCode problem?

3. a Unicode problem?
