[OT] calling non-numbered Unicode glyphs

[Richmond Mathewson]

Normally if one wants to put a unicode char into a field one does something
like this:

set the unicodeText of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" to numToChat(2327) & 
numToChar(9745)

or

set the unicodeText of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" to the unicodeText 
of fld "MyBigFatUnicodeTextFld" & numToChar(67234)

and that works reasonably well . . .

HOWEVER; if one cracks open a Unicode font with a font editing program 
such as
Fontographer

[the best way to see this is to use the LastResort font from the Unicode 
consortium]

one finds that there are glyphs/chars that belong to font families that 
have names
such as "kannada_31" but no hex address that is required for LiveCode to 
call it.

Now one CAN generate Unicode addresses for those chars: but the big and 
burning question is if those ARE the real Unicode addresses or just 
locally assigned values.
