I'm trying to display special unicode characters, in particular the mathematical operator in emacs. Specifically: position: 283 of 317 (89%), column: 0 character: (displayed as ) (codepoint 120046, #o352356, #x1d4ee) preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646)) code point in charset: 0x1D4EE syntax: w which means: word category: .:Base, L:Left-to-right (strong) buffer code: #xF0 #x9D #x93 #xAE file code: #xF0 #x9D #x93 #xAE (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix) display: no font available Unicode data: Name: MATHEMATICAL BOLD SCRIPT SMALL E Category: Letter, Lowercase Combining class: Ll Bidi category: Ll Decomposition: font e Character code properties: customize what to show name: MATHEMATICAL BOLD SCRIPT SMALL E general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase) decomposition: (font 101) (font 'e') There are text properties here: fontified t I'm using GNU Emacs 24 a recent nightly binary.
