Unicode Character Problem

Unicode Character Problem

[Johannes Graumann]

Hello,

I'm having trouble defining a new unicode character:

'versuch.tex' reads:
  \defineXMLentity    [\#9633]  {\symbol[8]}

'versuch.xml' reads:
  □

Trying to compile this like so:
  texmfstart texexec --environment=versuch.tex versuch.xml

Yields the error below. What am I doing wrong (this works for other things like
'\defineXMLentity[\#8211]{--}')?

Thanks for your insights!

Joh

I think I figured this out: '9633' is not in a unicode block as predefined in
unic-xxx.tex

So this doesn't work ... looks like I have to wait for LuaTeX ...

It should be
 \defineXMLentity    [9633]  {\symbol[8]}

XeTeX is already there (and your "square sample" is also working there
out-of-the-box once you set a proper font).

That's not right. I verify my xml with kxmleditor and '□' is accepted,
while '&9633;' causes an error to be thrown.

I'll look into that. 

Thanks, Joh

No, you don't need to modify XML, only the definition in ConTeXt:

This example works here:

\defineXMLentity[9633]{\symbol[8]}
\starttext
\startXMLdata
□
\stopXMLdata
\stoptext
