Mappings

All glyphs will be available for word processing and illustration programs through their mappings. Not all glyphs have mappings because some glyhps are only used internally for making the compositie glyphs. When a glyph is not used by any other glyhp and has no mappings it is useless!

Microsoft uses a Unicode or a Symbol mapping scheme. This does not mean that all versions of Microsoft's Windows support all mappings.

Symbol character sets have a special meaning. All of the characters in the Unicode range 0xF000 - 0xF0FF (this is the Private Use Area of Unicode) will be used to enumerate the symbol character set. Microsoft suggests deriving the symbol encodings by simply adding 0xF000 to the Macintosh encodings.

Note: only the first 224 characters of symbol fonts will be accesible.
