But, to your point - I can do a look up table, but what do I do
with it then? I can create a font with the required characters,
(actually, I already have one) but how do I convince Cocoa that
char 143 is a right arrow and shouldn't be translated into an
accented letter c?
Usually one would use the Unicode PUA for something like this--that
would be the most compatible way of proceeding. If that isn't
possible, then you might need to use a custom glyph generator,
possibly also overriding font fixing.
