It makes no difference, the characters don't display in Opera 6.0 either
as NCRs or UTF-8.

Since Lars Marius Garshol had written earlier this year about non-BMP
support in Opera 6.0, I've tried unsuccessfully to make it happen here.

Opera 6.0 is an attractive product which works well. It doesn't seem to
display non-BMP characters, though. Is there a method for enabling
non-BMP characters in Opera 6.0?

Also, what about shaping requirements for complex scripts such as
Indic and Arabic?

Best regards,

James Kass.
