I might add that all we poor bastards using W2k might want to type "charmap"
and press return. After checking the "Advanced view" checkbox it display
*quite* some info. Anyone interested in the Hebrew or Cyrillic subrange that
unicode font contains? :-) (I actually got a list of 47 (I think) Unicode
subranges). Could be useful to us since it also dispalys the 0x%4x value. It
also supports searching by the "name" for symbols (e.g. I searched for
"right-pointing" and got to the symbol Thomas referred to). Tell me I'm
insane, but I kind'of like it.
