Display Unicode characters 1F00-1FFE

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the feature you want?

Ability to see more Unicode characters.  I am specifically interested in being 
able to use 1F00-1FFE (Ancient/Koiné Greek vowels with breathing marks & 
accent marks).

How important is it to you?

Very important.  I use AnyMemo daily for several languages, including non-Latin 
alphabets.  Now I'm reviewing Koiné Greek, and if I can't see the letters with 
the correct marks, I'll have to make images of all the words, or switch to a 
program that can handle the job.  Either option would be a big pain for me.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why?

Yes, one of the great strengths of AnyMemo is the ability to easily treat 
multiple languages.  Frankly, I thought it already could display all Unicode.  
I find no explanation of where the ability ends, but others will also be 
unpleasantly surprised to find these limits.

AnyMemo is able to display unicode character as long as you use UTF-8.
If you import the csv / txt, you must choose "UTF-8" as encoding. If you are 
using Windows, you can open you csv / txt in Notepad and "save as" and choose 
encoding as "UTF-8".

If that is not the case, please let me know by replying this issue.

Thank you for your advice.  I have tried this and still cannot see any
characters in the range 1F00-1FFF, only small hollow squares.  The import
works, but these characters do not display in AnyMemo on my HTC One (M7),
running OS 4.1.2.  However when I view the database on my Windows 8
computer, using SQLiteStudio (v2.1.5) I can see all these characters
correctly, so perhaps the problem is an incomplete Unicode font on my HTC.
For comparison I have downloaded several existing (and presumably tested)
ancient Greek flashcard sets from the AnyMemo site, and get the same
problem for them all: Languages - Greek => Ancient Greek - Core Vocab,
Greek Morphology, Metzger Vocab Lists.  Any characters such as
ὐῖῶἐὅἥὅὗὕἔἵὁἀ do not display in AnyMemo on my HTC.  I 
see similar behavior
on an HTC One X, except there are no boxes, just blank spaces for these
characters.

Any further ideas would be appreciated.

If small squares are shown instead of the real characters, it means your 
phone's font does not contain that character. I think other apps cannot display 
them either.

There is one function you can try out. In the db settings, you can use 
"User-defined font". Copy the .ttf font file to your phone's external storage 
and then you set the font file. Double click on the empty field for user 
defined font, you can select the .ttf file. This might work for you.
