Probably, William and Joe, you don't have the right combination of font 
and rendering engine for this to work properly. It does seem to work 
with Windows XP and the default font in my system. If it doesn't work 
with your Mac or whatever, that is a problem with your system support 
for Unicode, and not with Unicode.
