Hi,

I'm trying this small test on unicode characters, and
the result I get is this:

http://173.45.227.76/test3.pdf

I did check the font in 'gucharmap' and it does contain
all codes I'm using (U+2019, U+2610, U+226b, U+2115). But
the result is a blank (U+2610 and U+2115) or wrong
(U+226b) character. (U+2019 is shown properly.)

The test alternates lines where a unicode character is
inserted directly (using emacs 'ucs' input method) and
then insert the same character using '\char'. (So, if you
see strange chars in the code, it's because it does
contain utf-8 characters.) It's intersting that u+226b
is shown properly when typed, but not when using '\char'.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Maurício

A few unicode characters: ó ñ ï ỳ

(\char"2019 ) is also character U+2019

(☐) is character U+2610

(\char"2610 ) is also character U+2610

(≫) is character U+226b

(\char"226b ) is also character U+226b
