I see hangul, hanunoo and han. Right, and those variables I mentioned also tell me these symbols. However, my problem is, even with this list of symbols, I have no idea which one I should use. I know `han' is for CJK, and I can guess `tamil' is for tamil. But some of them are difficult to guess. For example, which characters does `cjk-misc' represent? How is it distinct from `han'? Moreover, sometimes I get characters fail to display, but don't know which script I should use. I would expand this for your another reply. > As for Tamil script (which I use) I have the following in my .emacs. > "Lohit Tamil" is the font to use for 'tamil script. > > ,---- > | ;; Use the predefined fontset "fontset-standard" > | (set-face-font 'default "fontset-default") > | (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'tamil "Lohit Tamil") > `---- > > ,---- (char-table-extra-slot char-script-table 0) > | (latin phonetic greek coptic cyrillic armenian hebrew arabic > | syriac thaana nko samaritan mandaic devanagari bengali gurmukhi > | gujarati oriya tamil telugu kannada malayalam sinhala thai lao > | tibetan burmese georgian hangul ethiopic cherokee > | canadian-aboriginal ogham runic tagalog hanunoo buhid tagbanwa > | khmer mongolian limbu tai-le tai-lue buginese tai-tham balinese > | sundanese batak lepcha ol-chiki vedic symbol braille glagolitic > | tifinagh han ideographic-description cjk-misc kana bopomofo > | kanbun yi lisu vai bamum syloti-nagri north-indic-number phags-pa > | saurashtra kayah-li rejang javanese cham tai-viet meetei-mayek > | linear-b aegean-number ancient-greek-number ancient-symbol > | phaistos-disc lycian carian olt-italic gothic ugaritic > | old-persian deseret shavian osmanya cypriot-syllabary aramaic > | phoenician lydian meroitic kharoshthi old-south-arabian avestan > | inscriptional-parthian inscriptional-pahlavi old-turkic > | rumi-number brahmi kaithi sora-sompeng chakma sharada takri > | cuneiform cuneiform-numbers-and-punctuation egyptian miao > | byzantine-musical-symbol musical-symbol > | ancient-greek-musical-notation tai-xuan-jing-symbol > | counting-rod-numeral mathematical mahjong-tile domino-tile > | playing-cards) > | > `---- >
