How to obtain a Unicode charecter by using its decimal code ? -- Quy

The simplest way is to split the 16 bits into its component 2 bytes: +U1ED5 -> \uchar{"1E}{"D5} -> \uchar{30}{213}. --Adam 20:07, 1 Jan 2005 (CET)

After loading Vietnamese UTF8 (your description) I try:

\starttext
\uchar{30}{160} % 1EA0
\stoptext

But there is error:

Any ideas ? Thanks. Quy

Sorry. \uchar is for output. \utfunifontglyph{"1ED5} (hex) ought to do it. (assuming you have VN setup). --Adam 23:19, 5 Jan 2005 (CET)
