    There were recently threads concerning the display of variant glyphs.

    Here's an interesting approach...

    Quoting from,

    What does this all mean? Not much to the typical user, who is unlikely to
    use letters from alphabets such as Ancient Celtic Ogham or Mongolian (where
    I have placed these special characters).
    (end quote)

    This is from the "Aboriginal Serif Unicode" font developer's web site, which
    is offered as a "Unicode" font to cover U.C.A.S..

    The main page for the fonts section is:
    http://www.languagegeek.com/syllabics/syllabicfonts.html

    Here is a page which offers some examples of syllabics for a few languages
    using this approach.

    Hmmm, it seems that in order to display this page as its author intended,
    one would have to install the font...

    Best regards,
