Re: font/unicode question

Install Unicode software.That seems to be the straight way to resolve the issue,that helps you type any accented and Unicode character on US keyboard without having to learn and remember awkward key combinations.

What do you mean? The font is called Hiragana Regular. The characters in question are Hiragana (Japanese) letters. Most of the Hiragana set is in the regular keyboard with some in Alt codes. Just a few are inaccessable to me, but without them, I don't have access to the whole set of Hiragana letters.

I have kind of an odd/tough question. I have a font with several
characters that are encoded only in Unicode...I think. When I open up
Character Map, I can see the characters there and it of course gives me
the Unicode numbers for it. These characters have no corresponding
keyboard key or Alt code. They appear to be solely Unicode. Normally, in
such a case, in the Character Map I can hit Select and Copy and then
paste the character in whatever text program I want. For some reason
though, I can't with these characters. I don't know if the font is
damaged or what. I've tried everything I can think of but it won't allow
me to use them. Is there a way to straight type in a Unicode character
given the Unicode coding numbers or is the Select and Copy the only way
to access these? confused and annoyed
