    What is the unicode for {assign} from APL+Win?

    Or, what character code from  C# corresponds to the APL+Win {assign}?

    In Aplnext.ttf (10/04/2006) the {assign} is in the Unicode table "arrows" at position decimal 8592.

    In Apl2000.ttf  (10/23/2003) it's in the "private use" table at position decimal 61572.

    I don't seem to have a current Aplwin Unicode font.

    Adam, thanks for the link: very useful.

    I have been able to map the APL+Win font to UTF8. Now I can translate []av to utf-8, write it to a file and have C# echo the file into the APL+Win editor (or Word etc) without any (fonts) problems. See the attached WMV.

    What I wanted to do was to echo the file into a Visual APL session: there are problems here as the fonts are all garbled up; it would appear that the APLNEXT font is using some other mapping which I am trying to figure out.
