At this point in time, I'm going to just look at some sound correspondences of the modern languages to get my feet wet.
If I have any updates or additional information, I'll write back to the forum.
Thanks for all the help, Thomas and Dylan.
If you are using a MS Windows system you need to insert 5-digit (U+nnnnn) characters as a surrogate pair (recent versions of Office support them).sunwukong wrote:I've had some success porting the Unihan DB to Excel. So far I'm able to show the 4 digit U+nnnn characters but am having trouble with the 5 digit characters.
I am not sure whether Office 2000 can handle characters in supplementary planes. According the official specifications it cannot. Office XP and 2003 have no problems with handling supplementary planes.sunwukong wrote:Thomas thanks for your help. Maby Im in over my head. Do I need both of these functions to get this to work? As I mentioned in a previous post Im using Excel 2000 and Windows 2000. Your WriteSurrogae(nnnnn) routine seems to be working (for Firefox and IE) but not for MS Word and Excel. So my guess is Win 2K cant handle this or ???
