Yes. The mappings in MkIV are incomplete. Whenever you find a
missing symbol, send an email, and I will try to fix add it.

The mapping in math-vfu is wrong and it was mapping the unicode slot of cong to
the glyph for dotplus. I am attaching a file that fixes this.

However, I do not know how to proceed for \cong. \cong is one of the symbols
thar are composed from other symbols in plain tex. So, most traditional tex math
fonts (including LM) do not have that symbol. However, opentype math fonts do.
Ideally, what we want to map \cong to a font glyph, if one exists; otherwise, we
should fall back to a composed character.

Hans, we need a mechanism to implement fallbacks for math characters.

Same thing as \cong.

I am not sure what \ncong should map to: 0x2246 or 0x2247? There is
inconsistency between the mappings in char-def and math-vfu which can be fixed
easily once I figure out what is the correct mapping.

Fixed.. was a typo

I am not sure which unicode slot this should map to (0x25C7?). What is the difference
between \diamond and \Diamond?

I am not sure which unicode slot they should map to. In ams mappings
\triangleleft is different from \lhd, and I cannot find the right symbols for
both.

I will investigate more for the last two sets. In the mean time, Hans can you
apply the attached patch for \blacksquare and \gneq.
