Thanks for the endorsement, John. But... 2.0 is pretty out of date. B&N is
apparently more devoted to stocking the most recent Harry Potters than to
stocking the most recent Unicode Standards. Wonder whethere there's a
message there.

If you have access to Win2K, you might try the Unibook character browser on
http://www.unicode.org/unibook
It also works with Win9x and NT4.0. In either case, the trick is to make
sure the large Asian fonts and Arial Unicode MS are installed. On systems
prior to Win2K you can get them via the Office 2000 or IE5 language packs
etc. as described in many earlier postings on this list.
