Re: How to map non printing characters in mim file?

[Ajith R]

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply. Great to know that we can specify unicode values 
directly.
By "specification", I meant the source where details like this are written. 
Even though you may not know about a specification file, may be you can tell me 
from where you got this info (that we can specify unicode values directly).


Thanks,
ajith
