texucsmapping Package

Files describing mappings from various LaTeX mappings to Unicode.

• File bx-xxx.txt contains the mapping from XXX to Unicode.
• Currently supported encodings:
  IL2, L7x, LY1, OML, OMS, OMX, OT1, OT2, OT4, QX, T1, T2A, T2B, T2C, T5, TS1
• Not (yet) supported important encodings:
  LGR, T3

File Format

Lines starting with # are comment lines. a non-comment line shows a mapping of a character and is of the following form:

0x27    0x2019  #(quoteright)RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
~~~~A   ~~~~~~B  ~~~~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~D

• A: codepoint in the source (LaTeX) encoding
• B: codepoing in Unicode
• C: glyph name, given in the following cases:
  • The name is registered in Adobe Glyph List For New Fonts.
  • The character is in PUA.
• D: Unicode character name (or <PUA> if so)

PUA Repositories

The mappings in this package give high priority to one-to-one correspondence between the source encoding and Unicode. Thus when the source character is not contained (as-is) in current Unicode Standard, then characters from some PUA repositories are employed. Note that being one-to-one is preferred over the conformance to the Unicode Standard, so ocasionally glyphs that should be seen as representable (by combining sequences, as glyph variants, etc.) are encoded as a PUA character.

The following PUA repositories are employed (in the descending order of priority):

1. Adobe's (obsolete) repository
2. codepoints used in the Latin Modern font family
3. the author's private repository
