Re^2: Python unicodedata equivalent, or, how to convert unicode fraction to a usable fraction

ↈ = 100000 U+2188
৪৭৫৬ = 4756 U+9EA.9ED.9EB.9EC
𐹸 = 700 U+10E78

This is why Unicode is so great: "four hollow boxes" apparently means 4756, and "one hollow box" means 700, except when it means 1e5. BTW, this is in the latest version of Safari, which seems to make a real effort to do Unicode. It's hard to implement a standard that tries to do text, pictographs, and a bit of typesetting.

I discovered Symbola through tchrist here and it allows pretty much everything to render.	[reply]

You see boxes (or worse, the wrong glyph) if you don't have appropriate fonts for a charset, whether that charset is Unicode or not. Your problem has nothing to do with Unicode.	[reply]
