But I'm still curious about Unicode characters 128 thru 159.
Character tables show them as control characters, but in Mail (in
10.4.10) some of them were displayable. In Leopard's Mail, they are
not displayable characters. Leopard (10.5.4) will use these
characters in a file name, but will not display them.
Two characters in this range are not control characters: 145 and 146
(hexa 91 and 92) are "Private use". We take care about those
characters (in fact, about 146) because Word sometimes exports a 146
character, because Word uses a specific glyph for a smart quote, that
they mapped to 146. Thus an export from Word may include unicode
character 146.
I observe that Safari automatically translates unicode character 146
into a regular smart quote when displaying a rss feed (I didn't check
for a html), while Firefox displays, either nothing, or the unicode
glyph with the numerical code.
We do like Safari, we explicitly translate unicode character 146 into
a smart quote.
