Another problem is font support.. none of the fonts on my system (and I have quite a lot) have these codepoints defined.
David> That seems surprising. Some of the more exotic math characters added at Unicode 3.2,4,5 are only just now getting into fonts (such as STIX and Cambria math) but (almost) any truetype or type1 font built in the last 10 years or so should have the basic latin-greek-cyrillic font set, at least.
To clarify - most of modern fonts do in deed have latin-greek-cyrillic (including the U+03BB lambda), but I was referring to the specific math symbols such as the U+1D6CC bold lam(b)da, which reside in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP). Those are indeed not present in my fonts, including Lucida Math and Adobe Mathematical Pi). cheers, Arnar
