[edit] Unicode

Are there any JIS X 0213 characters which cannot be encoded with a single Unicode code point? --84.61.22.108 13:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there are 25 such characters. The Unicode Consortium considers they should be encoded using combining characters even though that approach requires a complicated rendering software. --Tenpa 01:44, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Why are there 25 JIS X 0213 characters which cannot be encoded with a single Unicode code point? --84.61.73.110 17:44, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

For example, JIS X 0213 incorporated katakana to (ト) with handakuten (゜). This character is used to write the Ainu language. However, Unicode didn't assign a single code point to this character because it could be represented by katakana to and combining handakuten (U+30C8 followed by U+309A). And there are 24 more similar cases. Unicode seems avoiding to incorporate more 'pre-composed' characters. ---I can't determine it is a good policy or not. --61.125.217.248 14:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Are there any JIS X 0213 characters for which the Plane 2 (SIP) of Unicode must be used? --84.61.60.173 13:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
