Thank you Mark:
That is only half the battle, let me explain. I do not want to read the
standard Unicode table. I want to directly read field 8 of a numeric
character
in the privet use area of the Unicode.
This is not part of scheme. The other half, I need to finger out how to
put the numeric values in field 8 for the characters I want to use.
Thank you,
