How to correctly use characters from the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" Unicode block?
-
Hello all
I am trying to use a few characters from the “Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols” Unicode block, which starts at 1D400, into some simple equations I have in a UTF-8 text file. A simple example of this is using the italic lower case X at U+1D465 for a variable.
I have two problems:
- Notepad++ displays the characters as (a) white space. So I cannot see content on the screen.
- The characters will print, but there are some problems, eg. superscripts become subscripts, and some characters have changed position, eg. become imposed or combined.
Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve this admittedly pedantic difference which would be made easily in any word processor or mark-up language?
Thanks in advance

Those both sound like they are caused by font availability/support, and/or potentially the windows fallback fonts.
Are you certain that the font you have selected in the Style Configurator has those glyphs available?pedantic difference which would be made easily in any word processor or mark-up language?
Notepad++ is neither a word processor nor a markup-language-renderer (by default – though there are plugins such as PreviewHTML or Markdown++ which allow markup to be rendered inside Notepad++, using alternate libraries through a plugin)

Hello, @æþelleo-durkin240, @peterjones, and All,
The Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols Unicode block, version
12.1,contains996characters, in the range\X{1D400}-\x{1D7FF}. Refer below :http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D400.pdf
I would advice you to download the
Symbolafont, from below :http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/
It really contains a great amount of symbol glyphs (
10,378). For instance, it covers the totality of the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block :-))However, note that this font is a proportional font. If you prefer, like me, to use a monospaced font, you will probably be interested in the font
Symbola_monospacified_for_LiberationMono.ttf:Note : This font is a pre-generated monospace font, derived from the
Symbolafont. Refer, below, for additional information :https://github.com/cpitclaudel/monospacifier
Personally, I chose the Liberation Mono version, but you may prefer the
symboladownload link of one of the programming fonts described !
Here is the list of all Unicode blocks, covered by the two fonts

-
If you want to search for characters, having an Unicode code-point >
\xFFFF, so over the Basic Multilingual Plane ( BMP ), when using theregular expressionsearch mode, you cannot use the obvious syntax\x{1xxxx}, due to a bug of the N++ regex engine. -
As a work-around, use the regex
[^\x{0000}-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFF}]to find for any single character, with Unicode code-point >\x{FFFF} -
You could say : why don’t you use the regex
[^\x{0000}-\x{FFFF}]to match any character over the BMP ?. Well;, I don’t know if it’s the normal behavior or if its’s because of some issues of the N++ regex engine, but I noticed that the range of the negative class character must NOT cross the High Surrogate Unicode area ([\xD800-\xDBFF]), nor the Low Surrogate Unicode area ([\xDC00- \xDFFF]) !. So, instead of the form[^\x{0000}-\x{FFFF}], you should use the correct syntax[^\x{0000}-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFF}];-)) -
A shortened syntax to find any character over the BMP, with code-point >
\x{FFFF}, is the regex.[\x{dc00}-\x{dfff}]. Don’t ask me the logic of that regex. I don’t understand it, myself !!!
Now, we just should stay pragmatic : if you paste the list of the
144characters, above, in a new N++ tab, with theUTF-8orUTF-8-BOMencoding, and click on theCountbutton of the Find dialog, with either the regexes :SEARCH
[^\x{0000}-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFF}]or
SEARCH
.[\x{dc00}-\x{dfff}]It returns, as expected, the message
Count: 144 matches( of course, independently of the current font used ) ;-))- Finally, be aware that, when a file contain Unicode characters over the BMP, with Unicode code-point >
\x{FFFF}, you CANNOT use theUCS-2 LE BOMnor theUCS-2 BE BOMencodings, which can just handle chars <=\x{FFFF}, written with two bytes ( so2^16possible combinations ) ! Of course, it goes without saying that any ANSI encoding is also forbidden, in that case !

@guy038 Thank you very much for your post. Symbola and Symbola_monospacified_for_LiberationMono are a reasonably comprehensive font of the Unicode character set that does what I asked for: the text files display and print as expected or planned with the new mathematical symbols with which I am experimenting. My only complaint is that it is a serif font … mutter mutter … I do like fonts like Helvetica.
