[BUG] unic-032.tex 0x2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS definition wrong

[Nikolai Weibull]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 662 bytes --]

\textellipsis usually expands to \cdots and that's fine, but
\textellipsis shouldn't be used in unic-032.tex for 0x2026 HORIZONTAL
ELLIPSIS, as this codepoint is for a symbol of dots on the base-line,
not in the center.  I've posted about this previously, but got no
response.  Anyway, I've attached a patch that fixes the problem.  I
don't know if using \dots instead is the best solution, though, so
further discussion may be necessary?,

i made it the equivalent of \unknown (better spacing than \dots)

Ah, so very, very true.
